411.5R Gifts to School District Employees

GIFTS TO SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEES

 

A school employee who receives or whose immediate family receives a gift in any one occurrence which has a value in excess of fifteen dollars shall file a written report of the gift with the secretary of the school board.  The report shall show the nature, amount, date, donee, and donor of the gift.

 

If a gift is made to an employee or an immediate family which cannot be precisely attributed to that recipient, the report shall list the pro rata value of the gift attributed to the donee if that value exceeds fifteen dollars.  The fact of apportionment shall be disclosed.  A gift may not be apportioned between multiple donors to reduce its “value” unless it qualifies as a separate occurrence.

 

The report shall be filed with the secretary of the school board by the fifteenth day of the month following the month in which a gift is provided which is required to be reported.

 

All reports filed shall be maintained  by the secretary and be available for public inspection as provided in Chapter 22, Iowa Code.

 

As used in this policy, the word “gift” and the phrases “immediate family member” and “public disclosure” have the meaning provided in Section 68B.2 of the Code of Iowa.

 

The secretary shall also maintain any report filed by the employees of the school district who desire to report a gift made to them or their immediate family members which did not exceed fifteen dollars in value.
