“The conflicts of interest policy requires full disclosure by trustees of all actual and potential conflicts of interest. Each trustee of the board, officer, and key employee of the school annually discloses any and all facts that may be construed as a conflict of interest, and, whenever such actual or potential conflict exists, before any relevant board or committee action. The audit committee of the board reviews disclosures and determines whether or not a conflict of interest exists and whether or not such conflict materially and adversely affects the interest of the school. The truestee whose potential conflict is under review may not debate, vote, or otherwise participate in such determination. If the audit committee determines that an actual or potential conflict of interest does exist, the board also determines an appropriate remedy pursuant to the process set forth in the conflict of interest compliance and resolution procedures. Such a remedy may include the recusal of the conflicted trustee from certain matters pending before the board. The same conflict of interest policy applies to employees.”
