Nepotism in schools: What's really prohibited?

Nepotism in schools is often misunderstood. Many people believe Ohio law prevents family members from working in the same school district. In reality, the law focuses on how public officials use their position, not simply whether relatives work together. In this OSBA webinar, Senior Deputy Director of Legal Services Jennifer Hardin explains what Ohio’s ethics laws actually prohibit — and the situations that can lead to serious violations. This session includes real-world examples and practical guidance for school board members, administrators and district employees navigating these issues. #EducationLaw #SchoolLaw #SchoolBoardGovernance #EthicsInGovernment 00:00 Introduction to Ohio’s nepotism laws 01:30 What nepotism means under Ohio ethics law 03:10 When family members can work in the same district 04:30 Key statutes governing nepotism in Ohio 07:00 What counts as a “public contract” 10:00 Using your position to secure a job 11:30 Real example: voting on a consent agenda 14:00 Who counts as a family member 17:00 Domestic partner definition under ethics law 21:00 Additional ethics restrictions and penalties 23:40 When nepotism laws apply in hiring 25:20 Job changes, promotions and discipline 29:00 Collective bargaining agreement questions 34:00 Scenario: board member with a family member applicant 36:00 Scenario: superintendent hiring restrictions 39:30 Scenario: voting on union contracts 41:00 Real case example of a nepotism violation 44:00 Practical issues: supervision, morale and perception 47:00 Audience Q&A scenarios 52:00 Legal hotline and resources
