That's the ideal situation, but anybody that has worked in the public sector can tell you the outcome. You'd have an office full of incompetent people that are making $150k/yr just because they're a friend or relative of someone. That's a really big problem in government and there's no simple solution here. Even if you started doing background checks and not allowing partners/relatives of current employees to be hired, they would just get picked up as favors by other districts. A sort of friend hiring exchange program if you will.
