Equal Employment Opportunity

The Board of Education is committed to providing equal access to all categories of employment in this district, regardless of race, color, national origin, creed or religion, marital status, sex, age, or disability.

The Board believes it to be in the interest of both students and the public to have a staff which is highly qualified and effective in performing the duties assigned to them, and which contains a healthy diversity of personal backgrounds.

The Superintendent of Schools shall ensure that applicants for open positions in either the administrative, instructional or support staff of the district, are sought from members of any minority group which is under represented in that staff.

Candidates for open positions, as well as for promotion and transfer, will be evaluated on the basis of education, experience and ability, to determine fitness to perform the duties of the position.

At no time will any candidate for employment, current employee or former employee suffer any adverse action, or be granted any benefit, for any reason other than personal merit or conduct, or in violation of any law or regulation.

This policy of nondiscrimination includes recruitment and appointment of employees and employment pay and benefits.

Any person noting or suspecting a violation of this policy is encouraged to bring the matter to the attention of the Superintendent or the Board of Education.
