ANNUAL BUDGET
One of the primary responsibilities of the Board of Education is to secure adequate funds to conduct a quality program of education in the school district. The annual school budget represents a written document presenting the Board's plan for allocation of the available financial resources into an explicit expenditure plan to sustain and improve the educational function of the school district. It is a legal document describing the programs to be conducted during the fiscal year and is the basis for the establishment of tax rates for the district.

The planning and preparation of the budget is a continuing process. It must involve a number of people who have knowledge of the educational needs of the community and who can provide accurate data in regard to the financial potential of the district. Members of the Board, citizens, students and professional and support staff members should be involved in the planning process, which culminates in the preparation of the budget document. The superintendent will establish procedures that seek input from the appropriate people on budgetary needs and that consider the priorities established by the Board.

The Board designates the superintendent to serve as the budget officer of the district. As budget officer, the superintendent will direct the planning and preparation of the budget and will submit it to the Board for approval. The superintendent will present to the Board a tentative budget proposal for the following year and will present the final budget proposal before the new fiscal year begins, as provided by law.

The Board may revise the items contained therein and will at that meeting adopt the portion of the budget dealing with the salary schedule and the needed tax rate for the district. Should the adopted budget require an increase in the tax levy above the authorized level that the Board may levy, the tax levy increase shall be presented to the voters for approval. The budget shall be appropriately adjusted if the voters fail to pass the tax levy increase. The Board will conduct at least one (1) public hearing regarding the proposed budget and taxation rate.

The annual budget document shall present a completed financial plan for the ensuing fiscal year and shall include at least the following statutory requirements:

A budget message describing the important features of the budget and major changes from the preceding year.
Estimated revenues to be received from all sources for the fiscal year, with a comparative statement of actual or estimated revenues for the two (2) years next preceding, itemized by year, fund and source.
Proposed expenditures for each department, office and other classification for the fiscal year, with a comparative statement of actual or estimated expenditures for the two (2) years preceding, itemized by year, fund, activity and object.
The amount required for the payment of interest, amortization and redemption charges on the debt of the school district.
A general budget summary.

In no event shall the total proposed expenditures from any fund exceed the estimated revenues to be received plus any unencumbered balance or less any deficit estimated for the beginning of the fiscal year. Upon the recommendation of the superintendent, the Board will approve a system of internal accounting to ensure proper financial accounting of revenues and expenditures.

The adopted budget of the Chillicothe R-II School District serves as the control to direct and limit expenditures in the district. Overall responsibility for assuring control rests with the superintendent, who will establish procedures for budget control and reporting throughout the district.

The total amounts that may be expended during the fiscal year for the operation of the school district are set forth in the budget. The total budgeted expenditure for each program is the maximum amount that may be expended for that classification of expenditures during the school year unless a budget transfer is recommended by the superintendent and is approved by the Board.

The Board will review the financial condition of the district monthly and shall require the superintendent to prepare a monthly reconciliation statement. This statement will show the amount expended during the month, total (to date) for the fiscal year, receipts and remaining balances in each fund. This statement will be used as a guide for projected purchasing and as a guide for budget transfers.

During the fiscal year the superintendent may transfer any unencumbered balance or portion thereof from the expenditure authorization of one (1) account to another, subject to limitations provided by state laws and approval by the Board.

All moneys received by the school district shall be disbursed only for the purposes for which they are levied, collected or received.

TAXING AND BORROWING AUTHORITY/LIMITATIONS
Taxation Authority
The Board shall levy and cause to be assessed and collected ad valorem property taxes for the operation of the school district. The district's taxing authority is established by state law. Each year, the superintendent will prepare and submit for Board approval an estimate of the amount of money to be raised by taxation for the ensuing fiscal year, the rate required to produce that amount, and the rate necessary to sustain the school district's meeting principal and interest payments on the bonded debt of the district, and providing the funds to meet other legitimate purposes. Prior to setting tax rates for the teachers' and incidental funds, the Board shall annually set the top rate for the capital projects fund as necessary with the exception as provided by law.

The Board will also conduct at least one (1) public hearing on the estimate and the proposed tax rate. The Board shall forward the estimate, calculated to the nearest one/one hundredth of a cent, to the county clerk on or before September 1 of each year. The district shall round up a fraction greater than or equal to five/one thousandth of one cent to the next higher one/one hundredth of a cent.

If the district receives from the county clerk the state auditor's finding that the proposed rate does not comply with Missouri law, the Board will have 15 days from the date of receipt of the finding to accept or reject in writing the rate change certified by the state auditor and to submit all requested information to the state auditor. A copy of the Board's acceptance or rejection and any information submitted to the state auditor shall also be mailed to the county clerk.

Whenever it becomes necessary, in the judgment of the Board, to increase the tax rate beyond the authorized level (the amount last approved by the voters of the district or as subsequently revised according to law), the Board shall determine the rate of taxation necessary to be levied in excess of the existing rate and submit the proposition to the voters of the district. Election procedures shall be in compliance with state law and Article X, Section 11(c) of the Missouri Constitution. The Board may decrease the official tax rate in compliance with state law and/or at its own discretion.

Any change in the ad valorem property tax rate must be established and sent to the county clerk no later than September 1 of each year, for entry in the tax books for the ensuing tax year. The district will file the required report of tax collected with the State Tax Commission as required by law.

Borrowing Authority
The Board is permitted by law to borrow money in anticipation of collection of taxes for the purpose of securing funds for school operations, including the debt service fund. Issuance of all such tax and revenue anticipation notes requires Board approval. The notes may be issued at any time in any year and the aggregate outstanding amount of the rate issued in one (1) year for any fund shall not exceed the amount of the School Board's estimate of the year's requirement for the fund. The notes shall be payable within 12 months from date of issuance.

Bonded Indebtedness
The Board may borrow money and issue bonds for payment of purchasing school house sites, erecting, furnishing and/or repairing school houses, purchasing school buses and other transportation equipment, and any other expenditures as prescribed in state law. Funds raised through the sale of bonds may be used only for the purposes set forth in the election which authorized the sale of bonds. Before a bond issue election, specific needs for facilities shall be made clear to the general public, and careful estimates shall be made as to the amounts required for the sites, buildings and equipment. In addition the Board may provide for payment of such projects from operating revenues through the use of lease purchase financing. Following approval by the voters, the disposition of the bonded indebtedness will be in accordance with state statutes.

The following points of state law shall serve as guideposts in the Board's issuance of bonds:

A four-sevenths vote is required before the issuance of bonds if the issue is submitted at a municipal election, or at the general or primary election held in even-numbered years. At all other elections, a two-thirds vote is required.
The Board of Education has a limit of bonded indebtedness of 15 percent of the value of taxable tangible property as shown by the last completed assessment for state and county purposes.
Bonds shall be issued in denominations of $1,000, or in any multiples of $1,000.
The number of years which the whole, or any part, of the bonds are to run shall not exceed 20 years from the date of the bonds.
The revenues from taxes levied for the purpose of satisfying bonded indebtedness obligations, both principal and interest, shall be recorded in the debt service fund.

General Funds
Upon the recommendation of the superintendent, the Board of Education may make provisions for minor capital outlay projects from the proceeds of current revenue in the adopted budget. Funds may be transferred from the incidental fund to the capital projects fund in an amount equal to the capital expenditures for school safety and security purposes.

POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS
No contribution or expenditure of district funds shall be made directly by any Board member, employee or agent of the district to advocate, support or oppose any ballot measure or candidate for public office. This does not prevent Board members or administrators from making public appearances or issuing press releases concerning any such ballot measures.

Reasonable expenditures may be made solely for the purpose of providing patrons of the district with objective information regarding ballot measures in order to inform voters concerning issues that directly affect the district.

DISPOSITION OF UNBUDGETED REVENUE
The Board of Education recognizes that due to special circumstances, the school district may occasionally receive revenue not budgeted.

In the event such revenues are received, the Board will disburse the revenues in accordance with any provisions or requirements accompanying the allocation. The Board, when authorized to establish local policy pertaining to the procedure and schedule for the disbursement of such revenues, shall establish an appropriate policy upon the recommendation of the superintendent.

Recommendations for procedural guidelines specifying a disbursement plan for moneys designated to the teachers' fund should be determined after receiving the suggestions of the professional staff.

REVENUES FROM INVESTMENTS/USE OF SURPLUS FUNDS
The Board authorizes and appoints the superintendent [or business officer or treasurer] to serve as investment officer of the school district ("district") to invest surplus school district moneys which are determined as not being immediately needed for the operation of the district. The superintendent shall follow procedures adopted by the Board in making investments and obtaining the best interest rates possible. Collateralized investments will comply with the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) of 1989.

I. Scope
This policy applies to the investment of all operating funds of the district.

1. Pooling of Funds
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the district will consolidate cash balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles.

2. External Management of Funds
Investment through external programs, facilities and professionals operating in a manner consistent with this policy will constitute compliance.

II. General Objectives

1. Safety
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.

a. Credit Risk
The district will minimize credit risk, the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer, by:

Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, brokers/dealers, intermediaries, and advisors with which the district will do business.
Diversifying the portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be minimized.
b. Interest Rate Risk

The district will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates, by:

Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity.
Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities.

2. Liquidity
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). A portion of the portfolio also may be placed in bank deposits or repurchase agreements that offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds.

3. Yield
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objectives of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments are limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions:

A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal.
A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.
Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.

III. Standards of Care

1. Prudence
The standard of care to be used by investment officials shall be the "prudent person" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal liability for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion to the governing body and the liquidity and the sale of securities are carried out in accordance with the terms of this policy.

Investments shall be made with moneys and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived.

2. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Officers and employees of the district involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose any material interests in financial institutions in which they conduct business. They shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officials shall refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual with which business is conducted on behalf of the district.

3. Delegation of Authority
Authority and responsibility for management of the day-to-day operations of the investment program may be granted to the superintendent or designee and/or an external professional organization, including Missouri Securities Investment Program ("MOSIP"). The investment officer shall ensure that the investment program's operations are in accordance with the established written procedures and internal controls for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy. Procedures should include references to: safekeeping, delivery vs. payment, investment accounting, repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, and collateral/depository agreements. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the investment officer.

IV. Investment Transactions

1. Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions
A list will be maintained of financial institutions authorized to provide investment transactions. In addition, a list also will be maintained of approved security brokers/dealers selected by creditworthiness. These may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15C3-1 (uniform net capital rule).

All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified for investment transactions must supply the following as appropriate:

Audited financial statements.

Proof of National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) certification.
Completed broker/dealer questionnaire.
Certification of having read and understood and agreeing to comply with the district's investment policy.

An annual review of the financial condition and registration of qualified financial institutions and broker/dealers will be conducted by the superintendent or designee and/or the designated external professional organization.

[Optional: From time to time, the investment officer may choose to invest or cause or permit investments to be made in instruments offered by emerging or minority firms and community financial institutions. In such situations, a waiver to the criteria under Paragraph 1 may be granted by the governing body. All terms and relationships will be fully disclosed prior to purchase and will be reported to the governing body of the district on a consistent basis. The governing body of the district should approve these types of investment purchases in advance.]

2. Internal Controls
The investment officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure that will be reviewed annually with the district's independent auditor. The internal control structure shall be designed to ensure that the assets of the district are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits require estimates and moneys by management.

The internal controls shall address the following points:

Control of collusion.
Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping.
Custodial safekeeping.
Avoidance of physical delivery securities.
Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members.
Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers.
Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third party custodian.

3. Delivery vs. Payment
All trades where applicable will be executed by delivery vs. payment (DVP) to ensure that securities are deposited in eligible financial institutions prior to the release of funds. All securities shall be perfected in the name or for the account of the district or MOSIP or other designated external professional organization and shall be held by a third-party custodian as evidenced by appropriate safekeeping receipts.

IV. Suitable and Authorized Investments

The certificates of deposit are required to be backed by acceptable collateral securities as described in §§ 110.010 - .020, RSMo.

f. Bankers' Acceptances -- Time drafts drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank, otherwise known as bankers' acceptances. The district may invest in bankers' acceptances issued by domestic commercial banks possessing the highest rating issued by Moody's Investor Services, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Corporation.

g. Commercial Paper -- The district may invest in commercial paper issued by domestic corporations, which has received the highest rating issued by Moody's Investor Services, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Corporation. Eligible paper is further limited to issuing corporations that have total assets in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000).

2. Security Selection: The following list represents the entire range of United States Agency Securities that district will consider and which shall be authorized for the investment of funds by the district. Additionally, the following definitions and guidelines should be used in purchasing the instruments:

a. U.S. Govt. Agency Coupon and Zero Coupon Securities -- Bullet coupon bonds with no embedded options.

b. U.S. Govt. Agency Discount Notes -- Purchased at a discount with maximum maturities of one (1) year.

c. U.S. Govt. Agency Callable Securities -- Restricted to securities callable at par only with final maturities of five (5) years.

e. U.S. Govt. Agency Floating Rate Securities -- The coupon rate floats off one index restricted to coupons with no interim caps that reset at least quarterly.

f. U.S. Govt. Mortgage Backed Securities -- Restricted to securities with final maturities of five (5) years.

3. Investment Restrictions and Prohibited Transactions

To provide for the safety and liquidity of the district's funds, the investment portfolio will be subject to the following restrictions:

a. Borrowing for investment purposes ("Leverage") is prohibited.
b. Instruments known as Structured Notes (e.g. inverse floaters, leveraged floaters, and equity-linked securities) are not permitted. Investment in any instrument, which is commonly considered a "derivative" investment (e.g. options, futures, swaps, caps, floors and collars) is prohibited.
c. Contracting to sell securities not yet acquired in order to purchase other securities for purposes of speculating on developments or trends in the market is prohibited.
d. No more than 5% of the total market value of the portfolio may be invested in bankers' acceptances issued by any one commercial bank and no more than 5% of the total market value of the portfolio may be invested in commercial paper of any one issuer.

4. Collateralization

Collateralization will be required on two (2) types of investments: certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the market value (including accrued interest) of the collateral should be at least 100%. For certificates of deposit, the market value of collateral must be at least 100% or greater of the amount of certificates of deposit plus demand deposits with the depository, less the amount, if any, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Corporation, or the National Credit Unions Share Insurance Fund. All securities, which serve as collateral against the deposits of a depository institution must be safe kept at a non-affiliated custodial facility. Depository institutions pledging collateral against deposits must, in conjunction with the custodial agent, furnish the necessary custodial receipts within five (5) business days from the settlement date.

5. Repurchase Agreements

The securities for which repurchase agreements will be transacted will be limited to Treasury and government agency securities that are eligible to be delivered via the Federal Reserve's Fedwire book entry system. Securities will be delivered to the district's designated Custodial Agent. Funds and securities will be transferred on a delivery vs. payment basis.

The investments shall be diversified to minimize the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of assets in specific maturity, specific issuer, or specific class of securities. Diversification strategies shall be established and periodically reviewed. At a minimum, diversification standards by security type and issuer shall be:

a. U.S. treasuries and securities having principal and/or interest guaranteed by the U.S. government -- 100%
b. Collateralized time and demand deposits -- 100%
c. U.S. Government agencies, and government sponsored enterprises -- No more than 60%
d. Collateralized repurchased agreements -- 50%
e. U.S. Government agency callable securities -- No more than 30%
f. Commercial Paper and Bankers' Acceptances -- No more than 50%

2. Maximum Maturities
To the extent possible, the district shall attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Investments in bankers' acceptances and commercial paper shall mature and become payable not more than 180 days from the date of purchases. All other investments shall mature and become payable not more than five (5) years from the date of purchase. The district shall adopt weighted average maturity limitations that should not exceed three (3) years and is consistent with the investment objectives. Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds such as in bank deposits or overnight repurchase agreements to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet ongoing obligations.

VII. Reporting

1. Methods

The investment officer shall prepare or cause to be prepared an investment report at least quarterly, including a management summary that provides an analysis of the status of the current investment portfolio and transactions made over the last quarter. This management summary will be prepared in a manner that will allow the district to ascertain whether investment activities during the reporting period have conformed to the investment policy. The report should be provided to the governing body of the district. The report will include the following:

Listing of individual securities held at the end of the reporting period.
Realized and unrealized gains or losses resulting from appreciation or depreciation by listing the cost and market value of securities over one-year duration (in accordance with Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) 31 requirements). [Note: This is only required annually.]
Average weighted yield to maturity of portfolio on investments as compared to applicable benchmarks.
Listing of investment by maturity date.
Percentage of the total portfolio which each type of investment represents.

2. Performance Standards
The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this policy. The portfolio should obtain a market average rate of return during a market/economic environment of stable interest rates. A series of appropriate benchmarks may be established against which portfolio performance shall be compared on a regular basis.

Commercial paper and bankers' acceptances must be reviewed not less often than monthly by the investment officer to determine if the rating level has changed. The commercial paper and bankers' acceptances should be reviewed for possible sale if the securities are downgraded below the minimum acceptable rating levels.

3. Marking to Market
The market value of the portfolio shall be calculated at least quarterly and a statement of the market value of the portfolio shall be issued at least annually to the Board. This will ensure that review of the investment portfolio, in terms of value and price volatility, has been performed.

VIII. Policy Considerations

1. Exemption
Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempt from the requirements of this policy. At maturity or liquidation, such moneys shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy.

2. Adoption
The policy shall be reviewed annually by the investment officer and recommended changes will be presented to the Board for consideration.

PURCHASING
The Board recognizes the importance of a sound fiscal management program and expects the district to maintain an efficient and consistent procedure for purchasing materials and services for the school district. No contract will be made and no bill will be paid without the proper documentation and without an affirmative vote from a majority of the whole Board.

The superintendent or designee shall develop a purchasing procedure that efficiently supplies the district, but also controls and documents district expenditures. Cooperative purchasing should be utilized when it is determined to be to the financial advantage of the district.

The Board may purchase apparatus, equipment and furnishings by entering into lease purchase agreements with vendors. Any agreement that results in school district ownership of the leased object must contain a provision that allows the district an option to terminate the agreement on at least an annual basis without penalty. All expenditures related to lease purchase agreements shall be considered expenditures for capital outlay.

When purchasing food or beverages to be processed or served in a building or room owned or operated by the district, the Board will give preference to those that contain a higher level of calcium if they are equal or lower in price and of the same type and nutritional quality. This consideration is in addition to any requirements of the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the National School Lunch Program or the School Breakfast Program.

The Board and the district will give preference to all commodities manufactured, mined, produced or grown within the state and to all Missouri firms, corporations or individuals that supply commodities when quality and price are approximately the same.

PAYMENT PROCEDURES
All moneys received by the school district shall be disbursed only for the purposes for which they are levied, collected or received.

The Board will give final approval to all bills paid. Payment of bills shall be authorized by the superintendent or designee, only after verification of delivery and satisfaction by the department or staff receiving the item(s). No payment for goods or services shall be made unless both an itemized invoice showing the name of the person or firm to whom payment is due is presented, and a receiving document bearing the signature of an authorized school employee is on file. Building levels are responsible for ensuring that receipts are returned with purchase.

Furthermore, the invoice must have been issued in response to an approved purchase order. The superintendent or designee shall audit all claims, and shall submit the same to the Board of
Education for approval and authorization for payment. The superintendent or designee will prepare and present to the Board each month a list of bills for approval of a warrant authorizing payment from district funds. Such lists will be supported by invoices, approved purchase orders, properly submitted vouchers, or in accordance with salaries and salary schedules approved by the Board.

School district moneys shall be disbursed only upon checks drawn by the treasurer and president of the Board following final Board approval of the monthly list of bills. Each check shall show the legal identification of the district by name and address, and the depository or investment account upon which the check is drawn. It shall also specify the amount to be paid and to whom payment is made, from what funds, for what purpose, the date of payment and the number of the check.

Checks will be disbursed twice per month on the third Tuesday of the month and the final day of the month. Disbursement dates will serve as the cutoff date for the next payment period.

SALARY DEDUCTIONS
All salary deductions will normally be subject to Board approval and are voluntary on the part of the individual employee, except for deductions for absences not covered by paid leave or those required by law. The employee must authorize all voluntary deductions in writing.

Contributions to the Missouri Educational Employees Memorial Scholarship Program
shall be voluntary, but not subject to Board approval.

Salary deductions for unauthorized or unpaid absences of salaried personnel shall be computed by dividing the contracted salary, excluding extra-duty pay, by the number of days in the contract period. Deductions for other personnel shall be based upon the hourly rate of individual employees.

The Board may authorize voluntary payroll deductions from compensation earned by employees if ten (10) or more employees so request. These deductions may be taken for, but are not limited to, credit unions, annuities, IRA membership dues, insurance premiums or other voluntary contributions. The amount deducted will be remitted to the organization, company or association authorized by the employee. In addition to the amount authorized, the district may deduct any administrative costs of compliance. The Board shall not be responsible for any good-faith error in the administration of this service.

If the district provides a system of payroll deduction, the district will, upon written request by ten (10) or more employees, provide employees with the option of contributing to a continuing committee through payroll deduction. A continuing committee is a committee of continuing existence that 1) is not formed, controlled or directed by a candidate, 2) is not a candidate or campaign committee and 3) has the primary or incidental purpose of receiving contributions or making expenditures to influence or attempt to influence the action of voters. No employee will be subjected to any adverse employment action based on his or her participation or lack thereof in such a program.
