3015: Prohibition Against Employment of Board Members
Nebraska statutes prohibit board members from serving as a teacher on a regular teaching contract.
The board will allow a member of the board of education to be employed by the ESU in a non-teaching capacity, including substitute teaching. Board members who are also employed by the ESU are strictly prohibited from discussing any issue with students, staff or parents in their capacity as an employee that may come before the board.
This policy does not prohibit the board from contracting with members of the board for services or products when the relationship is not one of employer/employee and such contracts are in compliance with the requirements of statute and board policy regarding conflicts of interest.
