Nonschool Employment

The Board of Education recognizes that district employees may receive compensation for outside activities as long as these activities are not inconsistent, incompatible, in conflict with or inimical to the employee's duties or to the duties, functions or responsibilities of the district.

Outside paid activities are incompatible with district employment if they require time periods that interfere with the proper, efficient discharge of the employee's duties, if they entail compensation from an outside source for activities which are part of the employee's regular duties, or if they involve using for private gain the district's name, prestige, time, facilities, equipment or supplies.

School district materials and equipment may not be used as a part of non-school employment. Any materials, publications or other printed matters used in outside activities that have been developed for the use of the school district may not be used as a part of non-school employment unless approved by the Superintendent or designee.
