An update from the state Ethics Commission means that teachers in Wellesley (and elsewhere) can now be given gifts up to $150 in value from groups as long as individuals aren’t identified (this is up from $50). This applies to individual teachers, not classroom, school, etc gifts.
Teachers may still receive gifts valued at up to $50 from individuals, though changes have been made to the public disclosure rules teachers must follow to guard against them receiving gifts that could be construed as trying to influence them.
The Wellesley Public School system sent out an update on these updates this week.
