or operations of the agency of the public servant and in which the public servant has participat- ed. La. R.S. 42:1111C(2)(d) prohibits a public servant from receiving anything of economic value for services provided to a person who has, or is seeking to obtain, a contractual, business, or finan- cial relationship with the public servant's agency. CONCLUSION The Board concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that, as Principal,your agency is Benton Middle School. Therefore, you would be prohibited by Section 1111C(1)(a) from providing teacher development services through Solution Tree to faculty members of Benton Middle School, since you have participated in providing those services in your public capacity. However, you would not be prohibited by Section 1111C(1)(a) from providing teacher development ser- vices through Solution Tree, to teachers who are not employed at Benton Middle School. The Board further concluded, and instructed me to inform you, that you would not be prohibit- ed by Section 1111C(2)(d) from performing compensated services for Solution Tree, since Solu- tion Tree does not currently have a contract, business, or financial relationship with Benton Middle School. Please be aware that the application of Section 1111C(2)(d) may change in the event Solution Tree obtains, or seeks to obtain, a future contractual relationship with Bossier Parish School Board to provide services to Benton Middle School. This advisory opinion is based solely on the facts as set forth herein. Changes to the facts as pre- sented may result in a different application of the provisions of the Code of Governmental Eth- ics. The Board issues no opinion as to past conduct or as to laws other than the Code of Gov- ernmental Ethics, the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act, the Lobbyist Disclosure Act, and con- flict of interest provisions in the gaming laws.
