District News
Dear PISD Employee,
What is a Conflict of Interest? Conflicts of interest are situations in which Plano ISD employees may have the opportunity to influence business or academic decisions in ways that could lead to personal gain, give improper advantage to self or others, or interfere inappropriately with the preservation, generation, or public dissemination of knowledge such that an independent observer might reasonably question whether the individual's professional actions or decisions are influenced by considerations of personal gain, financial or otherwise. A conflict of interest depends on the situation, and not on the character or actions of the individual.
All employees are required to disclose any relationships or activities that might give rise to conflicts, or the appearance thereof, with their duties, responsibilities, or obligations to Plano ISD. A potential conflict of interest may arise when an employee's extracurricular relationships interfere or compete with one another or with that individual's relationship to the District. However, the nature of possible employee relationships outside the District varies widely. Therefore, a precise and exhaustive definition of all possible relationships with the potential for conflict of interest is not possible.
Conflicts of interest are not necessarily unwarranted, unethical, or illegal. Furthermore, conflicts of interest are not always avoidable.
Disclosures should be made as early as possible to enable those reviewing them to consider what action, if any, needs to be taken regarding any potential conflicts of interest. The failure to disclose situations that have the potential for or involve actual conflicts of interest, however, may be unethical and/or illegal.
Please visit https://myforms.pisd.edu/forms/COI to complete the form. If any questions exist, please contact Internal Audit (Jenna Isensee x26174 or Kathy Perkins 26179).
Sincerely,
Dr. Kary Cooper
Assistant Superintendent for District Services

Parent Contact
Before you record a final grade, please make sure you contact the parent if the grade on the report card is below a 70. With one less grading quarter, average pass will be a new issue we may encounter. We want to notify parents as quickly as possible so they can assist with interventions moving into the 2nd grading period.
Holding Students Hostage
Please do not keep students beyond your class period to finish an assignment. Utilize Lions Lunch for students to complete an assignment. Students are being charged with a tardy and it counts towards a student absences once they report to their next class. It is also professional courtesy to ask your colleagues if it is okay if Lions Lunch is not an option.
