“The board of trustees is committed to avoiding conflicts between the interest of the school and any personal interest of a trustee. A trustee must manage his or her personal and business affairs legally and ethically, so as to avoid an actual or perceived conflict of interest. Generally, a conflict may arise when 1) a trustee has an existing or potential financial or other interest which impairs, or might appear to impair, his or her objectivity in serving the school; or 2) a trustee might derive, or appear to derive, a financial or other material benefit from his or her board service. Ultimately, the determination of whether a conflict or interest exists relies on each trustee's sound judgment, honesty, and ethics. When a potential conflict of interest exists or is believed to exist, prompt disclosure to the chair or co-chair is required. Recusal or abstention may be required. Each trustee is required to sign a copy of this policy on an annual basis. Each trustee is required to abide by this code of conduct/conflict of interest policy and with the bylaws at all times. Failure to do so shall result in removal from the board of trsutees. Further, violation of this policy or other policies adopted by the board of trustees may result in the trustee's removal from the board of trustees.”
