Policy on Discrimination
Policy 1122 Nondiscrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity The School Board does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, transgender status, or gender identity), disability (including HIV, AIDS, or sickle cell trait), pregnancy, marital status, age (except as authorized by law), religion, military status, ancestry, or genetic information, which are classes protected by State and/or Federal law (collectively, "protected classes") in its programs and activities, including employment opportunities.
It is the legal obligation and the policy of the Board to employ only those persons who are best qualified, with or without reasonable accommodations.
The Superintendent shall appoint Compliance Officer(s) whose responsibility will be to require that Federal and State regulations are complied with and that any complaints are dealt with promptly in accordance with the law. The Superintendent shall also require that proper notice of nondiscrimination for Title II, Title VI, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendment Act of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act will be provided to staff members and the general public.
Any sections of the District's collectively bargained agreements dealing with hiring, promotion, and tenure will contain a statement of nondiscrimination similar to that in the Board's statement above.
