We are new to the school system.  What is the policy on gifts for teachers?  I know in our old public district they were considered government employees and couldn’t accept non-cash gifts over $20.

Williamson County teachers are allowed to accept gifts as acknowledgement of appreciation.  Teachers are aware of School Board POLICY 6.710 where accepting of gifts should be with discretion.
