10. Code of Ethics for School Board Members (Statute 18A:12-24.1):

• I will uphold and enforce all laws, state board rules and regulations, and court orders pertaining to

schools. Desired changes should be brought about only through legal and ethical procedures.

• I will make decisions in terms of the educational welfare of children and will seek to develop and maintain

public schools which meet the individual needs of all children regardless of their ability, race, creed, sex or

social standing.

• I will confine my board action to policymaking, planning, and appraisal, and I will help to frame policies

and plans only after the board has consulted those who will be affected by them.

• I will carry out my responsibility, not to administer the schools, but, together with my fellow board

members, to see that they are well run.

• I will recognize that authority rests with the board of education and will make no personal promises nor

take any private action which may compromise the board.

• I will refuse to surrender my independent judgment to special interest or partisan political groups or to use

the schools for personal gain or for the gain of friends.

• I will hold confidential all matters pertaining to the schools which, if disclosed, would needlessly injure

individuals or the schools. But, in all other matters, I will provide accurate information and, in concert

with my fellow board members, interpret to the staff the aspirations of the community for its schools.

• I will vote to appoint the best qualified personnel available after consideration of the recommendation of

the chief administrative officer.
