AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
It is the policy of the board to provide all applicants for employment with equal employment opportunities and to provide current employees with training, compensation, promotion and other benefits of employment without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, sex, age or disability, except where sex, age or physical requirements are essential occupational qualifications. All candidates will be evaluated on their merits and qualifications for the positions.
The board also is committed to diversity throughout the programs and practices of the school system. To further this goal, the recruitment and employment program will be designed to encourage a diverse pool of qualified applicants.
