Today, in all our staff members’ mailboxes, was a flier for an incumbent school board member who is running for reelection. I could not identify this person in a lineup, and neither do I know anything about the positions this person takes, so this isn’t a personal or political issue, but it just seems wrong. I’m not sure what the applicable law or policy is, but it doesn’t seem right to have political materials placed in our work mailboxes. Seems shady to me. And since the person is a current and a prospective school board member, it’s possibly a conflict of interest.
What do you think?
Major conflict of interest.
ReplyDeleteSeems shady at best. More questions arise, who put them there and specifically was it a district employee doing it on work time? If not a district employee, then who has access to your work mailbox and what other, more nefarious, things could they have put in there? Does the opponent have equal access? Does the opponent know this is an option for campaigning? The list goes on.
ReplyDeleteI'm told they were put there by one of our union reps after school hours. Union rep, because he teachers union supports this particular candidate.
ReplyDeleteSeems inappropriate to me, for the reasons Steve and Anna A listed above.
