SCENARIO 2: Mr. Shanfeld is a Language Arts teacher at Bayshore Middle School, and for the last several years, he has been the director of the annual 8th-grade trip to Washington D.C. Unhappy with the quality of the different tour companies that the district has used in the past, Mr. Shanfeld decides to start his own tour company that specializes in school field trips to Washington D.C. This is something that he will be doing in his spare time, and he has informed HR of this business venture so that he is acting in accordance with the district policy regarding second jobs for teachers. The bids to be the tour company used by the district are often very competitive, but because he knows several people at the administration building, he is able to secure the bid without much convincing. There is a formal process for students applying to the trip, and the criteria for selection are set by the school district and the principal of each middle school. The trip is often cost-prohibitive for some families due to the $700 price tag, though the PTA offers 5 scholarships each year for students whose families cannot pay. Mr. Shanfeld is still the director for the field trip for Bayshore Middle School, and now he is also the owner of the tour company the school will be using. A student whom Mr. Shanfeld really hoped would go on the trip missed the deadline for applying, and after speaking to his parents, Mr. Shanfeld realizes that the reason is due to temporary financial issues. It is too late for the student to apply for one of the PTA scholarships, but Mr. Shanfeld and the parents work out a deal where they will provide him with free landscaping services for the next year if he can help them get their son a spot on the trip. Mr. Shanfeld agrees, and since it is his company, he can and does secure a spot for the student.
