NEW -- Conflict of Interest Law
A recently enacted conflict of interest law is scheduled to go into effect this year.
The law applies to all public employees in Massachusetts. It seeks to “prevent
conflicts between private interests and public duties” by informing and training
public employees about the content of the law. In order to comply with this
mandate, after the Thanksgiving break all Wellesley Public Schools employees
will receive a copy of the Summary of the Conflict of Interest Law. Training will be
scheduled later during the winter.
