3214 Staff Gifts
The Board of Education considers the presentation of gifts to professional staff members by students and their parents an undesirable practice because it tends to embarrass students with limited means and gives the appearance of currying favor.
Based on the foregoing premise, it is the policy of the Board that professional staff members may accept gifts of nominal value from students or parents.
Professional staff members may give gifts of nominal value. It is suggested that if a professional staff member wishes to give a substantial gift, s/he may do so as a gift to the classroom, for example, library books or other educational resources for the class.
The District Administrator may approve acts of generosity to individual staff members in unusual situations.
Upon the recommendation of the District Administrator, the Board shall consider, as appropriate, the presentation of token gifts to retiring members of the staff who have rendered service for a period of time.
