The following policy governs employment of relatives with the intent to avoid conflicts or potential conflicts of interest that may arise.

No spouse, minor child or dependent of a board of education member shall be appointed to a full-time position in this school district. Such individuals may be eligible for part-time or short-term employment and shall be considered on a competitive basis with other applicants. Individuals otherwise related by blood or marriage to a Board of Education member may be employed following full disclosure of the relationship by the Board of Education member in a public meeting and sufficient vote of appointment without counting the vote of the related Board of Education member.

Employees related by blood or marriage shall not work in the same direct line of supervision. Such employees may be employed in the same department or work location when the employment is approved in writing by the Superintendent or his/her designee.
