Scenario: 
When a suburban school district hired a new middle school band director, he was asked to continue the school’s prior involvement as a host site for a series of one-day music festivals for students throughout New England. The band director scheduled
the popular music festivals at his school over five Fridays, all during the school day. He received his usual band director salary and was paid a stipend totaling $1,800 by the nonprofit that ran the festivals for his work as a site coordinator and
a judge.
Did the band director
commit a conflict of interest by accepting the stipend?
