The Political Reform Act, Government Code 87300-87313, require each public agency in California to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code. A regulation adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission, 2 CCR 18730, provides that incorporation by reference of the terms of that regulation, along with the agency-specific appendix designating positions and disclosure categories shall constitute the adoption and amendment of a Conflict of Interest Code in conformance with Government Code 87300 and 87306.

Los Gatos Union School District recently reviewed its positions, and the duties of each position, and determined that changes to the current Conflict of Interest Code were necessary.

Attached is Resolution #03-20-21, Conflict of Interest Code and the Appendix of Designated Employees and Disclosure Categories. After Board Adoption, the documents will be sent to the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors for their approval. They are the code reviewing body per Government Code section 87303. Once the Board of Supervisors approves the Los Gatos Union School District Conflict of Interest Code, it will go into effect.

It is the recommendation of the Superintendent that the Governing Board approve the resolution as presented.
