NONSCHOOL EMPLOYMENT OF PROFESSIONAL STAFF


The Livingston Parish School Board expects that when a person is hired on a regular, full-time basis, the employee shall give the responsibilities of their position in the district precedence over any type of outside part-time work.

The outside work done by a staff member is of concern insofar as it may:

prevent the employee from performing his/her responsibilities in an effective manner; be prejudicial to the employee's effectiveness in the position; or might compromise or embarrass the school district; raise a question of conflict of interest -- for example, where the employee's position in the district permits access to information or another advantage useful to the outside employer.

Therefore, an employee shall not perform any duties related to an outside job during regular working hours or during the additional time that is needed to fulfill the responsibilities of the position; nor will an employee use any district facilities, equipment, or materials in performing outside work.

An employee shall confer with the Superintendent or a designee before accepting any outside employment and discuss the prospective job in relation to current duties with the Board.
