McGovern gave preferential treatment to an Agawam Police Officer suspected of driving while intoxicated; ordered to pay a $7,500 civil penalty
The State Ethics Commission (“Commission”) issued a Decision and
Order (“Decision”) concluding the adjudicatory proceeding involving
Agawam Police Department (“APD”) Lieutenant Edward McGovern by finding
that McGovern violated G.L. c. 268A, the conflict of interest law, by
giving preferential treatment to a fellow Agawam police officer
suspected of driving her personal vehicle the wrong way on a state
highway in Agawam while intoxicated. Pursuant to the Decision, the
Commission ordered McGovern to pay a $7,500 civil penalty. The
adjudicatory proceeding was initiated by the Commission’s Enforcement
Division filing an Order to Show Cause in July 2014.

What is the CODE OF ETHICS for teachers in Massachusetts?
1
PREFACE (Editor's note: the alleged "teachers" at MCC TV3, including board member Arthur Alan Deluca, were negligent with their members AND failed to properly keep meeting minutes and their finances in proper order.)
A strong code of ethics is a prime identifying characteristic of a true profession.
In the field of education, prospective educators are guaranteed
that, upon entering the profession, they will receive competent
assistance from their peers, who also must abide by the Code.
The Code of Ethics of our profession was drafted
by educators specifically for educators. It spells out commitments to ourselves, to our students, and to the public.
The Massachusetts Teachers Association ensures equitable
treatment of all members whenever there are allegations regarding
violations of the Code. This is done through the Committee on
Professional Standards and Ethics, which is made up of members
of the profession.

The Code of Ethics of the Education Profession serves not only as a guarantee of professional behavior, it is also the primary set of
guidelines regarding the obligations and responsibilities common to
all members of the profession.
Because of this, all who are involved with teaching and learning
processes should become familiar with the Code of Ethics.
Although the Code is the same for the entire education
profession, state and local affiliates cooperate in its periodic
review and revision. The Committee on Professional Standards
and Ethics of the Massachusetts Teachers Association and the
National Education Review Board have independently developed
procedures for compliance. Local affiliates are encouraged to
develop a close relationship with the Committee on Professional
Standards and Ethics of the Massachusetts Teachers Association
