<br>





As some of you of are aware, there has been an ethics complaint filed 
against a state board of education member, C. Todd Jones. The complaint 
has to do with a potential conflict of interest he has with his job 
outside of the board and decisions he is making on on the board 
including PSEO/dual enrollment. As these programs are included in the 
gifted operating standards, the potential conflict of interest extends 
to those standards as well. <br>


<br>


Below are the links to two articles and an editorial in that have run the Akron Beacon Journal with regard to the issue. <br>
