Regulation
Personnel
Nepotism: Husband/wife Employment
The following regulations
will govern conflict of interest in the employment of staff:
1. Persons belonging to the immediate family of an employee
will not be appointed to a position that is in a line relationship involving
supervision and evaluation of the position.
2. This will not apply to any person within such relationship
or relationships who have been regularly employed by the board prior to the
inception of the relationship or the adoption of this regulation.
3. It is the intent of these rules to avoid any situation where
there can arise a conflict of interest on the part of
the member of the administrative staff.
To define the conditions
under which relatives of administrators or board members of the
Ashland-Greenwood Public Schools will be considered for employment, in light of
the district policy to employ the best qualified person for each job opening
and the need to use particular care and judgment in the assignment of employees
who are closely related, the following statements are made:
1. For the purpose of this policy a relative is defined as
follows: husband/wife, mother/father,
mother-in-law/father-in-law, son/daughter, daughter-in-law/son-in-law,
brother-in-law/sister-in-law, brother/sister.
2. Employment of relatives is permitted provided they are not
supervising the other, and where, in the opinion of the superintendent, such
arrangement would not cause conflict which might adversely affect the
operations of the district.
3. A marriage between district employees will have no effect on
the continued employment of either person so long as the marriage does not
result in supervisory problems or other adverse effects on the efficient
operations of the district. The
superintendent retains the right to make an appropriate determination regarding
the effects of such a marriage. In the
event that a determination is made that the marriage will cause supervisory
problems or otherwise adversely affect the efficient operations of the
district, the superintendent will have the prerogative on transferring either
husband or wife to another position.
