Applicants for employment in the Madison Metropolitan School District shall be selected without regard to a relationship by affinity or consanguinity which they may have with a current employee of the District. However, to avoid possible conflicts of interest which may result from employment procedures, an employee who is related by affinity or consanguinity to another employee or applicant shall not participate in any decision to hire, retain, promote, evaluate or determine the salary of that person.
