The following excerpt summarizes the “Ethics Reminder”  from JCOPE, but please read the attached as well.

… a complimentary copy of a textbook provided to a State educator does not constitute a prohibited gift, so long as the following conditions are met:

• The textbook’s subject matter is directly related to the recipient’s duties or field of study;
• The textbook is used solely in connection with the recipient’s official duties;
• The recipient does not resell or trade the textbook for money or any other thing of monetary value;
• The recipient does not request or receive multiple copies of the same textbook; and
• The recipient does not ask a publisher for copies of textbooks for personal interests, or for the personal or professional interest of others.

A complimentary textbook that does not meet these conditions could be a prohibited gift. If in doubt, please contact your agency Ethics Officer or JCOPE for guidance.
