3005 CODE OF ETHICS AND STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
All school system employees hold positions of public trust; they are responsible for the education of students and also serve as examples and role models to students. Each employee is responsible for both the integrity and the consequences of his or her own actions. The highest standards of honesty, integrity, and fairness must be exhibited by each employee when engaging in any activity concerning the school system, particularly in relationships with vendors, suppliers, students, parents, the public, and other employees. Employee conduct should be such as to protect both the person's integrity and/or reputation and that of the school system. An unswerving commitment to honorable behavior by each and every employee is expected. Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent error and the honest difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or subordination of principle.

Employees shall perform their jobs in a competent and ethical manner without violating either the public trust or applicable law, policies, and regulations. It is not practical or possible to enumerate all of the situations that might fall under the guidelines of this policy. In addition to other policies, regulations, and approved practices that have been established covering specific areas of activity, (such as purchasing), the absence of a law, policy, or regulation covering a particular situation does not relieve an employee from the responsibility to exercise the highest ethical standards at all times.

Failure to comply with this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

The Superintendent has developed in Regulations and Procedures (R&P 2305/3005/4005) guidelines which address the specifics related to this policy.

He fails Science, however.

50% is just not good enough.

If he'd compared public schools to prisons, however, I'd agree.

I didn't read the article linked so it may be he actually did use the word Nazi but it seems strange that the quote in this snippet doesn't include it.

Guy is a tool to be sure but I am really starting to be annoyed by sensationalist reporting that puts words in peoples mouths.

He might have been talking about any concentration camp, not just Nazi concentration camps.

Sheesh.

On edit: It is the Telegraph, so there's a 50% chance the whole story is made up. At least it's not The Daily Mail.

prisons? Concentration camp and prison are pretty close in my mind.

Regardless I agree with the sentiment that many of our schools are working hard at crushing students spirit.

His ideas on creationism however I couldn't find any more ridiculous.

And committing Educational Malpractice.

feels that dumbass Fournier is wrong should write and publish their own thoughts on the fucking matter and see if that stupid school board feels the same way about their 1st Amendment rights!

WTF?

Sid

We left while she was still in grade school, in great part due to the very sorry state of education we witnessed there. Notes, flyers and notices sent home with her were frequently filled with misspellings and grammar so terrible it curled the enamel on my teeth.
