Equal Employment Opportunity Policy

The School strongly believes that our employees are an important asset and encourages a creative, diverse, and enthusiastic work environment that is characterized by respect for each individual. Consequently, we, at the School, are committed to ensuring an environment that nurtures, supports, and provides opportunity for professional growth for all individuals regardless of sex/gender (including gender identity, pregnancy, childbirth and related medical conditions), race, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, age (40 and over), ancestry, medical condition, marital status, registered domestic partner status, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, veteran status, height, weight or any other protected characteristic established by law. In keeping with our commitment to excellence, equality and diversity in all its forms as put forth in our mission statement, all employment decisions and personnel actions, including recruitment, hiring, training, promotions, compensation, benefits, social programs, and recreational programs will be administered in a nondiscriminatory manner. Decisions also will not be influenced by a perception an employee falls within any of these categories or an employee’s association with a person falling within any of these categories.

We are committed to the principles of Equal Employment Opportunity. Discrimination against any applicant or employee will not be tolerated. Any person who has committed or encouraged discrimination by words, actions or inactions, will be subject to discipline, up to and including possible termination. All of us share the responsibility of contributing to a work environment of equal employment opportunity. Supervisors are responsible for maintaining a discrimination-free work environment by leadership and personal example.
