OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT

o Be mindful of trade secrets and confidential information shared with you as an employee of Invictus High School. Do not post internal reports, policies, procedures or other internal school related confidential communications, nor videos or photographs of your coworkers or students without their express written permission.  Represent only your own views. o Employees should not speak to the media on behalf of Invictus High School without contacting the Director of Strategic Communication and Administration. All media inquiries should be directed to them. o Be clear that your opinions are your own and that you do not speak on behalf of Invictus High School, other faculty or staff, our students, or other school stakeholders.  Engage with stakeholders responsibly o Interaction with students or other school employees represent an extension of your professional relationships with those stakeholders, and utilizing personal social media accounts to interact with these stakeholders can make it difficult to differentiate between the nature of these relationships. o Should you choose to interact with students via personal social media, the school strongly urges employees to utilize an account created specifically for professional interaction to reinforce the professional nature of the interaction and relationship even in online forums.

As a general guideline, think before you post. Be aware that what you say online, even if the post is deleted, altered, or expires, is considered permanent and may be searched, “screenshotted,” or otherwise archived. Even with the most stringent privacy settings, when posting online comments, even in a personal capacity, staff should act as if all comments/postings are in the public domain. The use of screenshots, photo tagging, and geolocation data may mean that posts may share more information than you originally intended. The things you say online reflect upon you and, as an extension, on Invictus High School as your employer.

OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT

An employee may hold a job with another organization as long as he or she satisfactorily performs his or her job responsibilities with the School. All employees will be judged by the same performance standards and will be subject to the School’s scheduling demands, regardless of any existing outside work requirements.

If the employee’s supervisor determines that an employee’s outside work interferes with performance or the ability to meet the requirements of the School as they are modified from time to time, the employee may be asked to terminate the outside employment if he or she wishes to remain with the School. Any employee who does perform outside work has a responsibility to avoid any conflict with the School’s business interests. Outside work cannot be performed on the School’s time. School office supplies and equipment may not be used for outside work.
