1. Disclose or use confidential information acquired in the course of employment to further substantially the superintendent’s personal financial interests.

2. Accept a gift of substantial value or substantial economic benefit tantamount to a gift of substantial value which would tend to improperly influence a reasonable person in the position to depart from the faithful and impartial discharge of the superintendent’s duties or which the superintendent knows or should know is primarily for the purpose of a reward for action taken.

3. Engage in a substantial financial transaction for private business purposes with a person whom the superintendent supervises.
