elected to or is a candidate for the office of member of a board of
education of a school district that has a total student count (not average
daily membership) of 12,000 or more to file a financial disclosure

identification of every source of income over five hundred dollars
received during the preceding calendar year and a brief description of
the nature of the services for which the income was received and the
source of any gift with a minimum fair market value in excess of $75.
Officials and employees of political subdivisions receiving less than
$16,000 per year for serving in their public positions must disclose the
source of a gift valued at over five hundred dollars, according to Ethics
Opinion 02-001.
Generally, if the school official is a candidate for office, a disclosure
statement must be filed 30 days before the primary, special or general
election. If the school official is appointed to a position after April 15, that
official must file within 90 days of the appointment. If the official is
appointed to fill an unexpired term, a disclosure statement must be filed
within 15 days of the appointment. The filing fee is $20 for
superintendents, treasurers, and Board of Education members.
