[quote=Anonymous]From MCPS Regulation on Emplyee Conflict of Interest:

“MCPS employees are expected to be knowledgeable about and conduct themselves in accordance with this regulation and Board Policy BBB, Ethics, and to assume responsibility for ensuring that their behavior and activities are consistent with the policies of the Board and do not constitute a conflict of interest....”

“It is a conflict of interest for an employee to
    1. Take advantage of relationships with students, parents/guardians, employees, or others doing business with the school system for personal benefit or to benefit another individual or entity, or
    2. Use their position, MCPS resources, and/or confidential or proprietary information acquired in their official school system position for personal benefit or to benefit another official or entity.

“....  Employees are encouraged to disclose potential conflicts of interest in advance or seek prior guidance regarding conduct about which there may be potential concerns.”

“..... In order to avoid conflicts of interest, employees shall recuse themselves from participating in any procurement decision, selection, or other decision-making process from which they...may personally benefit.”

“....  Employees may not disclose or use proprietary information acquired by reason of their employment with MCPS that is not available to the public.”

VIOLATION

“An alleged violation of this regulation is cause for an immediate investigation by the chief operating officer/designee. If it is determined that an employee has violated this regulation, the employee may be disciplined, including reprimand, suspension, or termination, in accordance with applicable laws....”

So...just how many regulations did the “Discovery Brothers” violate? How many recommendations did they ignore? What type of an investigation was conducted? By whom? And...what consequences did they face for their obvious violations? MCPS is stonewalling. The memos released so far are full of platitudes and “passive voice” obfuscation. Hey, MCPS, “trust and support” is a two-way street. [/quote]
