The School Board as donee shall administer the property entrusted to them in conformity with the directives contained in the act of donation and for its purpose they are vested with all the necessary powers of administration.

Vendors shall be encouraged to benefit the school district by such incentives as reduced prices rather than benefiting individual employees by gifts.  No employee shall be permitted to accept personal gifts.
