Advisory Opinion 1994-014
South Carolina State Ethics Commission
South Carolina State Ethics Commission
Abstract
A textbook publishing company may furnish books and other teaching materials for trial use in a classroom setting, provided the donation is not intended to influence a public official’s, public member’s, or public employee’s official responsibilities. Rather than serving as actual members of textbook adoption committees, teachers who have used publishers-donated texts should appear before these committees to represent their findings and recommendations. Section 8-13-720 prohibits publishing companies from compensating those teachers who utilize donated texts and related materials for trial use in their classrooms.
