7 Miss. Code. R. 11-Three-4
No teacher in any of the schools of the state, no school district superintendent of schools, and no person officially connected with the government or direction of any school shall, during employment with the school district, act as agent or attorney for any textbook publishing company selling textbooks in this state. If, after employment with a school district, any person filling such position accepts the agency or attorney of any textbook publishing company, the acceptance of such agency or attorney shall work a forfeiture of the office or position as teacher held at the time of the acceptance of such agency or attorney (Miss. Code Ann. § 37-43-39).
Publishers/vendors shall be limited to five (5) representatives working in the state at any one time during an adoption. Teachers may not act as a publisher's representative. Managers may have consultations with the representatives during the adoption process. Managers that are in the state consulting with their representatives are not counted as one of the five representatives. However, if the manager contacts schools or attends the local hearings/caravan, he/she will be considered one of the five (5) representatives.
If a publisher has a college representative, this representative's activities will be limited to the college area unless he/she is one of the five representatives to work in the adoption. If the college representative works outside the college area, that representative must be considered as one of the five working in the state.
