Since it specifically applies to board members, if it applied to ESD employment, then board members, who also receive compensation from the district, would be in violation. Spouse employment is common across the state, and state law specifically addresses this - if a spouse is employed prior to the board member being elected, there is no conflict of interest, except the board member cannot vote on the spouses's contract.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-65789674177075391202007-09-24T18:31:00.000-07:002007-09-24T18:31:00.000-07:00There is a school board meeting tomorrow night, Se...There is a school board meeting tomorrow night, September 25th.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29571009.post-13780671653667649462007-09-24T18:16:00.000-07:002007-09-24T18:16:00.000-07:00Looks like the Board would fail both the reading a...Looks like the Board would fail both the reading and math sections of the WASL.
