SEC. 3.1-420. SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
§ 3.1-420
This section requires designated San Francisco Unified School District employees and board members to disclose certain financial interests related to real property and business dealings with the School District, with disclosure requirements varying by position and categorized into two levels of scope.
People who work in certain jobs at San Francisco Unified School District must report their financial interests to avoid conflicts of interest. Category 1 people (like the Superintendent and Board members) must disclose property interests within or near School District boundaries and business dealings involving real estate, construction work, or supplies the District uses. Category 2 people (like Principals and Managers) must disclose financial interests in businesses that do work or sell supplies to their specific department or school. The regulation lists which job titles fall into each category.
- Complex:The section cross-references two disclosure categories with different scopes, requires understanding of geographic and temporal qualifiers ("within two miles," "within the past two years"), and includes a detailed position table that may not capture all role variations.
- Controversial:Conflict-of-interest disclosure requirements are areas where reasonable people disagree about the appropriate scope of reporting and enforcement, especially regarding what financial interests should be reportable.
