Conflict of Interest
Immediate family is defined as:
- The spouse, child (including a stepchild and an adoptive child), parent, sibling, grandparent, aunt, or uncle of the person
- A parent or sibling of the person's spouse
- Any member of the person's household.
Employment in the Anchorage School district is a privilege entrusted by the public. Employees of the District “must adhere to the highest levels of ethical conduct to preserve the integrity of the governmental process and avoid conflicts of interest.”* All ASD employees are responsible for reading and complying with the information addressed in ASD School Board policy with regard to conflict of interest (ASD Code of Ethics and section 1.15 of the Anchorage Municipal Code).
It is also imperative that immediate family members (see box at right) inform an ASD employee of any intent of their employer to do business with the Anchorage School District so that the ASD employee may attend to any potential conflict of interest issue.
