RE:
Request for an advisory opinion as to the propriety of a former Louisiana Rehabilitation Services employee going to work for the Livingston Parish School Board.
Facts:
Deanna Harris is currently a District Supervisor with Louisiana Rehabilitation Services (LRS). LRS and Livingston Parish School Board have a contract to provide pre-employment transition services (Pre-ETS) to students in the parish. The school board advertised a position for a pre-employment transition specialist, for which she was interviewed by both LRS and the school board. The school board offered her the position. She states that she never provided Pre-ETS to students as a district supervisor or in her prior position as a rehabilitation counselor.
