218 - Gifts to Board of Directors

Board members may receive a gift on behalf of the school district.  Board members will not, either directly or indirectly, solicit, accept or receive a gift, series of gifts or an honorarium unless the donor does not meet the definition of “restricted donor” as outlined in Iowa law or the gift or honorarium does not meet the definition of “gift” or “honorarium” as outlined in Iowa law.  Board members may receive nonmonetary gifts of a value less than $3.00 if the donor does not intend to influence the board member’s professional judgment.

It is the responsibility of each board member to know when it is appropriate to accept or reject gifts or honorariums.
