It is imperative that the leadership of a district model the code of ethics at all times – actions speak louder than words. It is also important to remind staff of the code of ethics standards and the consequences for violating these standards. As Dr. Arterbury stated in the video interview, it is amazing that school leaders, particularly superintendents, would participate in unethical/illegal activities (especially with school finances). They must surely know the risk of being discovered. Yet, we have seen this happen time and again. However, we must remember these incidents involve a small minority of administrators. I believe the vast majority of educators demonstrate strong moral character and are role models for the students and members of the communities in which they serve.
