| Advisory opinion as to whether the post-employment restrictions in the Code of Governmental Ethics prohibit Jennifer Jeffers, A KIPP employee and former Booker T. Washington High School Assistant Principal, from transacting with Booker T. Washington High School students and other public school students by learning through international travel. |
|
Ms. Jeffers completed her tenure with KIPP New Orleans Schools in June of 2022. Her last position was to serve as the assistant principal for Booker T. Washington High School. Additionally, during her employment with KIPP, she served as a chaperon on one international trip to Costa Rica. This
was not part of her job duties and she was not compensated for serving
as a chaperon.
She founded a company that creates a curriculum for experiential learning through international travel. She would like to work with Booker
T.
Washington High School and other KIPP Schools. She will provide a new
service, new curriculum, new students, new teachers, and new itinerary.
