Board of Education adopts policy changes

Ethics Panel established; school officials to disclose likely conflicts of interests

Dr. Annette Wallace, the Chief Operating & Academic Officer for grades 9-12, presented the policy revisions for administrative operations to the Worcester County Public Schools Board of Education on Tuesday.

The board approved the adoption of policies under the new “Ethics” section of the Organization of the Worcester County School System.

According to the first policy statement, the school system has an ethics panel of five members appointed by the chair of the board of education with the agreement of the other board members.

The panel will be responsible for receiving and maintaining all forms required by the board’s ethics policies, will provide advisory opinions to people subject to those policies, and make determinations regarding allegations of ethics policy violations.

The next policy titled “Disclosure of Potential Financial and Conflict of Interests Requirement for Board Members and Candidates for the Board of Education” requires all board members and candidates to file a financial disclosure statement.

If schools are reopened and they refuse to return to the schools for teaching they are not punished as long as they report their employment else where is what I get out of these changes.

They should be fired with no unemployment if that is true.

Sorry but the BOE and the word ETHICS don't go hand in hand.
