Synopsis

Need for Ethics in School Districts "Few U.S. school districts employ an ethics officer, and it's unclear how many have formal ethics codes. . . . It's not that wrongdoing is on the upswing. But in this era of budget cutting and high-stakes accountability, when critics may raise suspicion about what's really happening with the money, a school district that leads with clarity about ethics can bolster community trust. As a bonus, it also can strengthen employee morale and motivation." -Joan McRobbie senior research associate, WestEd, San Francisco, California author, Contagious Effects of a District's Ethics Code School Administrator, AASA Inexperienced Leaders "Dr. Oliver . . . traces the problem of unethical behavior among some school leaders, in part, to the lack of experience he sees in those being hired today by school boards to fill superintendencies. Educators who entered the field (a few decades ago) and rose through the ranks to become superintendents are retiring in waves. The vacancies they create are not drawing the quantity and quality of experienced administrators eager to assume the top berth (and) may not have the training, experience or strength to stand up to the pressures being forced on them. Dr. Oliver contends that those entering without much experience in key decision-making roles are 'more likely to fall into the trap of what appears to be an innocent proposal without considering the underlying ethical issues, more inclined to go with the first decision that comes to mind . . . [and] less likely to look at the consequences of unethical behavior.'" -Priscilla Pardini, Shorewood, Wisconsin author, Ethics in the Superintendency School Administrator, AASA
