Berkley School District issued the following announcement on Sept 20.
On Monday, September 13, the Board of Education welcomed new staff members during the Study Session meeting. Those who were able to attend the meeting shared their name, position and school they serve. Prior to the meeting, all had a chance to get to know Board members during a reception.
After welcoming new staff, Board members took time to sign their Code of Ethics document. Every time the Board has a new trustee and/or Superintendent, the Board members reaffirm their commitment to uphold their Code of Ethics. The beginning of the code begins:
As members of the Berkley School District Board of Education, we realize that to be the most effective advocates for children, we, as a Board, must function as a team and at all times treat each other and the people we serve with the utmost courtesy, dignity, respect and professionalism. Should we, for whatever reason, fail to follow these guidelines, we ask that our fellow Board members call it to our attention. Should that occur, we pledge to accept the feedback without anger or retribution, and to renew our efforts to follow this Code of Conduct and Board Operating Procedures. We shall promote the best interests of the school district as a whole, and, to that end, all decisions will place the needs of children first by adhering to the following educational and ethical standards.
