Code of Silence RFP Language.docx

The document outlines the Board of Education's commitment to ethical contracting standards through the implementation of a "Code of Silence" policy and a "Conflict of Interest Disclosures" policy. The "Code of Silence" prohibits communication between those seeking awards from the District and influential District representatives during the solicitation process. It also restricts campaign contributions, gifts, and other items of value during this period. The "Conflict of Interest Disclosures" policy requires Board members to disclose and abstain from voting on contracts involving entities that have made significant campaign contributions. Non-compliance with these policies can lead to disqualification or debarment of suppliers.
