Conflict of Interest Protocol

All school employees must avoid situations involving actual or potential conflict of interest. LVCA considers certain activities and situations to be a conflict of interest and therefore will not allocate school funding towards these nor allow these potential conflict of interest situations to occur. A brief description of each is listed below. This is not an exhaustive list of all possible situations which would constitute conflicts of interest. The school administration reserves the right to add to or amend this list as it deems appropriate. Any relationship or action which creates an expectation of benefit or profit beyond an employee’s normal employment relationship with the School can impair an employee's ability to exercise good judgment on behalf of the School, and therefore creates an actual or potential conflict of interest. It is the School’s policy that all School employees must scrupulously avoid all such situations.

1. An ES may not solicit students for their “class list” who are already enrolled with another ES. (This in no way limits a parent’s choice to request a new ES, or ESs to work together on transfers for the good of the students).
2. An ES who serves as ES for their own children or other children who reside in their household may not complete an AESS contract for them.
3. No ES, school employee, or any school employee's spouse or dependent may serve as a School Governance Board member.
