A Board member will not have any direct financial interest in a contract with the school district; nor furnish
for compensation directly any labor, equipment or supplies to the district; nor be employed for pay as a
teacher or substitute teacher in the same school district in which they are a board member.

SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER ETHICS MSD 209

The School Board recognizes that there are rules of ethical conduct for public officials and employees that extend beyond the
responsibilities and duties delegated by law.

The following principles of conduct will serve as a guide for the official conduct of Board members.

1. I will view service on a school board as an opportunity to serve my community, state, and nation because I believe
public education is the best means to promote the welfare of our people and to preserve self-government.
2. I will work unremittingly to help the people in my community understand the importance of public education and to
support willingly the highest level of education we can afford.
3. I will try to make decisions in terms of the best interests of the educational welfare of children. I will seek to provide
an educational opportunity equally open to all children regardless of ability, race, creed, sex or location of residence.
4. I will recognize that my responsibility is not to run the schools but to see that they are well run. I will confine my
board action to policy making, planning and appraisal.
5. I will refuse to represent special interests or partisan politics or to use the schools for personal gain or for the gain of
friends or supporters. “I will refuse to use the schools for personal gain or for the gain of friends.
6. I will arrive at conclusions only after I have discussed matters fully with members of the professional staff and board
members. Once a decision has been reached by the majority of the board assembled at the meeting, I will support it
graciously.
7. I will recognize that authority vests with the whole board assembled in meeting and that I have no legal status to bind
the board outside of a meeting.
8. I will support and protect school personnel in performance of their duties. I will vote only for competent and trained
technical and professional personnel who have been properly recommended by the appropriate administrative officer.
I will vote only for personnel that have been recommended by the administration as competent and properly
licensed and trained.
9. I will refer all complaints, including my personal criticisms to the appropriate administrative officer and only after
failure of administrative solution will discuss such matters at a regular board meeting.
10. I will observe and enforce state laws and regulations pertaining to public education.
11. I will respect the limited intent and scope of executive session and respect privileged communications from executive
sessions and other administrative sources.

Recommendation 1: Delete policy.

Recommendation 2: Delete the last sentence of #4. #5- Rewrite to say “I will refuse to use the schools for personal gain
or for the gain of friends. #6-Delete the last 2 sentences. #8- Change the last sentence to “I will vote only for personnel
that have been recommended by the administration as competent and properly licensed and trained. #9- Who should

NEW BOARD MEMBER ORIENTATION MSD 230

The board considers it important that a new member be knowledgeable about school governance and
operations, and, insofar as possible, prepared to discuss and cast informed votes on matters before the
board from the time that the member is sworn into office.

To maintain high standards and continuity in operating the school system, new board members will be given
special attention promptly after election. The board superintendent will compile copies of policies and
regulations, which are revised regularly, to be given each new member upon election. A retiring member
should furnish the new member with his/her accumulated materials.

The superintendent will be responsible for arranging a conference or conferences with new board members
on the board's work, objectives, and purposes, and will discuss the legislative function of the board and the
administrative functions of the superintendent. The new members will be given appropriate background
information which may include a tour of the school(s), a map of the district, past and current surveys and
reports on curriculum, teaching standards and certification, school services, facilities, finances, taxes, a
calendar of business, and copies of minutes.

The new member has a responsibility to seek information about the educational program, employed
personnel, laws and board procedure, board policies, facilities, school services, needs of the community,
interested public service organizations and techniques of good public relations.

Mitchell Technical College (MTC) has raised the rate of pay for students participating in the
Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program from $12 per hour to $13 per hour.

The FWS Program provides part-time employment to students with financial need. To
determine eligibility, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). The employment, which is typically on-campus, will help cover expenses
associated with their postsecondary education. MTC felt it was necessary to raise the FWS
rate of pay to stay as competitive as possible with other employment opportunities available
to our students.
