PROHIBITED CONTRACTS BY MEMBERS OF SCHOOL BOARDS (§ 2.2-3108)

A. No person elected or appointed as a member of a local school board shall have
a personal interest in (i) any contract with his school board or (ii) any
contract with any governmental agency that is subject to the ultimate control of
the school board of which he is a member.

B. The provisions of this section shall not apply to:

   1. A member&#8217;s personal interest in a contract of employment provided the
   employment first began prior to the member becoming a member of the school
   board;

   2. Contracts for the sale by a governmental agency of services or goods at
   uniform prices available to the public; or

   3. A contract awarded to a member of a school board as a result of competitive
   sealed bidding where the school board has established a need for the same or
   substantially similar goods through purchases prior to the election or
   appointment of the member to serve on the school board. However, the member
   shall have no involvement in the preparation of the specifications for such
   contract, and the remaining members of the school board, by written
   resolution, shall state that it is in the public interest for the member to
   bid on such contract.
