schools; purchases; board members

This bill restricts school board members from voting on matters involving their own employment, pay, or close relatives' positions. It also limits school districts to purchasing under $300 from any board member per transaction, with total annual purchases capped at $1,000 unless approved by a board policy. Smaller school districts (under 3,000 students not in high-population counties) may purchase from board members without these limits, but must document each purchase in meeting minutes. The law directly affects school board members and district purchasing practices across Arizona.
