Statement of Ethics for Educational LeadersAn educational administrator’s professional conduct must conform to an ethical code of behavior, and the code must set high standards for all educational leaders. The educational leader provides professional leadership across the district and also across the community. This responsibility requires the leader to maintain standards of exemplary professional conduct while recognizing that his or her actions will be viewed and appraised by the community, professional associates and students.

The educational leader acknowledges that he or she serves the schools and community by providing equal educational opportunities to each and every child. The work of the leader must emphasize accountability and results, increased student achievement, and high expectations for each and every student.

To these ends, the educational leader subscribes to the following statements of standards.

The educational leader:1. Makes the education and well–being of students the fundamental value

of all decision making.2. Fulfills all professional duties with honesty and integrity and always acts

in a trustworthy and responsible manner.3. Supports the principle of due process and protects the civil and human

rights of all individuals.4. Implements local, state and national laws. 5. Advises the school board and implements the board’s policies and

administrative rules and regulations.6. Pursues appropriate measures to correct those laws, policies and

regulations that are not consistent with sound educational goals, or that are not in the best interest of children.

7. Avoids using his/her position for personal gain through political, social, religious, economic or other influences.

8. Accepts academic degrees or professional certification only from accredited institutions.

9. Maintains the standards and seeks to improve the effectiveness of the profession through research and continuing professional development.

10. Honors all contracts until fulfillment, release or dissolution mutually agreed upon by all parties.

11. Accepts responsibility and accountability for one’s own actions and behaviors.

12. Commits to serving others above self.~Adopted by the AASA Governing Board, March 1, 2007

As a member of the board of education I will:

1. Remember always that my first and greatest concern must be the educational welfare of all students attending school in our district, and ensuring that they have the opportunity to reach their highest potential;

2. Strive to improve boardsmanship by studying educational issues and participating in board training opportunities;

3. Respect and obey the laws of Oklahoma and the United States, working to bring about desired changes through policies adopted by the board of education and through legal and ethical procedures;

4. Formulate legislative goals, policies, and strategic plans for the district, delegating to administrators the administrative functions of the school(s);

5. Recognize that I, as an individual board member, have no legal authority outside the meeting of the board and will take no private action that will compromise the board or administration;

6. Refrain from board actions locally that would substantially interfere with or injure the program of education elsewhere;

7. Make every effort to be prepared, punctual, and in attendance at every board meeting;

8. Respect the confidentiality of privileged information and refrain from disclosing information that may be injurious to individuals or the school(s);

9. Encourage the free expression of opinion by all board members and staff, seeking systematic communications between board members and the public inside and outside the school district;

10. Be committed to promoting a cooperative atmosphere in order for the board to effectively serve the students;

11. Recognize and reward excellence in student achievement, teacher performance, and administrative leadership;

12. Refrain from using my board position for personal or partisan gain.
