Bill > H4350

This bill amends Section 20 of Chapter 268A of the Massachusetts General Laws to allow employees of regional public educational agencies, such as educational collaboratives, to have a direct or indirect financial interest in contracts or agreements made by the collaborative to provide educational, professional development, and related services to the collaborative or its member school districts. The key provisions are that the employee must provide a written disclosure of the contract or agreement, the arrangement must be approved by the employee's appointing authority, and there must be public notice of the contract or agreement or it must be created through an open competitive process. The bill also defines "educational services" and "related services" for the purposes of this section.
