teacher to accept a gift, favor, or services that is given to the person or person’s school:
That might reasonably tend to influence a trustee, administrator; or teacher in the selection of a textbook, and
That would not be lawfully purchased with funds from the state textbook funds
• Therefore, ECISD personnel will not accept any such incentives.
• ECISD personnel will accept only sample review materials and such accompanying materials that are approved by the State of Texas for consideration by school districts.
