[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mayor and/or council can allocate all the money in the world but if the people in charge of using that money are corrupt and/or idiots, it doesn't really matter.[/quote]

Thank you.   Agreed 100%.  The biggest problem facing education in Alexandria is the Alexandria School Board. [/quote]

Oh I dunno, there's plenty of competition from central and schools administrators. Like, for example, the fact that TCW just named a new Counseling director who reports to the asst principal that also happens to be her spouse.

I'm sure there's no conflict of interest or anything there though.[/quote]

City of Alexandria Ethics Initiative
Report and Recommendations of the City-wide Ethics Initiative Committee
March 30, 2012
https://www.alexandriava.gov/uploadedFiles/EthicsCommitteeReport.pdf
Addendum B
6-1.2
PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
Public confidence and trust are essential to the effectiveness of City government. Public confidence and trust are maintained and enhanced when City employees conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the highest ethical standards and eroded where there is even the appearance of improper conduct. This administrative regulation, therefore, provides general principles to govern standards of conduct for all City employees, so that the public may have confidence and trust in the City and those who act in its behalf.
In observing this Code of Ethics, City employees will adhere to the highest standards of behavior, personal integrity and truthfulness, both on and off the job. Employees are to subordinate personal interests to their public responsibility when such interests conflict with the moral and ethical discharge of their duties as City employees or their status as a representative of the City of Alexandria.
This regulation also provides general guidance to employees in applying the Code of Ethics to specific situations, and applies to all employees and all categories of employees of the City of Alexandria.
