Confidentiality Policy and Agreement
CONFIDENTIALITY
Respecting the privacy of our clients, donors, members, staff, volunteers, and of the Foundation itself, is a core value of the Grand Island Public Schools Foundation. Personal and financial information is confidential and should not be disclosed or discussed with anyone without permission or authorization from the Executive Director or Board President. Care shall also be taken to ensure that unauthorized individuals do not overhear any discussion of confidential information and that documents containing confidential information are not left in the open or inadvertently shared. This includes e-mail correspondence that is shared with board members or staff.
Employees, volunteers, and board members of the Grand Island Public Schools Foundation may be exposed to information which is confidential and/or privileged and proprietary in nature. It is the policy of the Foundation that such information must be kept confidential both during and after employment or volunteer service. Staff and volunteers, including board members, are expected to return materials containing privileged or confidential information at the time of separation from employment or expiration of service.
Unauthorized disclosure of confidential or privileged information is a serious violation of this policy and puts the Foundation at risk. A violation of trust and this agreement will subject the person(s) who made the unauthorized disclosure to the appropriate discipline including removal/dismissal.
Upon recruitment to the staff team or Foundation Board, staff and board members will receive and sign a copy of this policy.
