UNDER THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW, NO SCHOOL TRUSTEE, OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE MAY HAVE AN INTEREST, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, IN ANY CONTRACT WITH THE SCHOOL, WHEN SUCH OFFICER, TRUSTEE, OR EMPLOYEE, INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD, HAS THE POWER OR DUTY TO (A) NEGOTIATE, PREPARE, AUTHORIZE OR APPROVE THE CONTRACT, OR AUTHORIZE OR APPROVE PAYMENT UNDER THE CONTRACT; (B) AUDIT BILLS OR CLAIMS UNDER THE CONTRACT; OR (C) APPOINT AN OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE WHO HAS ANY OF THE POWERS OR DUTIES SET FORTH ABOVE.

IF, AFTER HEARING THE TRUSTEE, OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE'S RESPONSE AND AFTER MAKING FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE GOVERNING BOARD OR COMMITTEE DETERMINES THE TRUSTEE, OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE HAS FAILED TO DISCLOSE AN ACTUAL OR POSSIBLE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, IT TAKES APPROPRIATE DISCIPLINARY AND CORRECTIVE ACTION.
