("Solution Tree") is a global educational professional development network <br /> that provides conferences, workshops, events, and other resources for teachers to facilitate the <br /> work of Professional Learning Communities. In the past, Bossier Parish School system has con- <br /> tracted with Solution Tree. However, it is not currently under any contract with Solution Tree. <br /> Benton Middle School has never directly contracted services with Solution Tree. <br /> You are interested in serving as an independent contractor for Solution Tree to provide services <br /> such as leading professional development seminars,workshops, and webinars. You would receive <br /> no financial compensation from Solution Tree for any services you provide as Principal of Ben- <br /> ton Middle School. Additionally, all services conducted for Solution 'Tree would be outside of <br /> your working hours for Bossier Parish School Board. <br /> LAW <br /> La. R.S. 42:1111C(1)(a) prohibits a public servant from receiving anything of economic value for <br /> any service, the subject matter of which is devoted substantially to the responsibilities, programs, <br /> Page 1 of 2 (Docket No. 2019-263) <br /> AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br />
