ITEM : F.3. Policy BH, Board Code of Ethics | ||
Recommendation | ||
The Superintendent recommends changes to Policy BH as presented and placement on the table for public review until the next regularly scheduled meeting. | ||
Details | ||
In September 2016 the State Board of Education (SBOE) amended Rule 160-5-1-.36 LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD GOVERNANCE to reflect requirements from Senate Bill 275. The rule prohibits a local board of education from adopting or following a code of ethics which prevents the board members from discussing freely the policies and actions of such board outside of a board meeting. (Note Domain V: Board Meetings Numbers 7 and 8.) As required by SBOE Rule 160-5-1-.36, within three months of adoption by the State Board of Education of the revised Model Code of Ethics each local board of education shall adopt a code of ethics that includes, at a minimum, such model code of ethics. | ||
