Principals in my county are not allowed to accept ANY gifts from teachers, parents, or students.

    An interesting addition to the TN story is that once a member has been expelled from the house they cannot be expelled again. Meaning that neither of the two can be expelled from the house for the rest of their time in it, including future elections I think.
