LEVERETT SCHOOL COMMITTEE

 

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

The School Committee acknowledges that the quality of the District’s employees is essential to the school’s success in educating its students. The School Committee believes that embracing and celebrating our differences enriches the quality of the work experience and enhances our own personal and professional relationships.

The School Committee subscribes to the fullest extent to the principle of the dignity of all people and of their labors and will take action to ensure that any individual within the District who is responsible for hiring and/or personnel supervision understands that applicants are employed, assigned, and promoted without regard to their race, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, genetic information, ancestry, military status, disability, pregnancy or pregnancy related condition.  Every available opportunity will be taken in order to assure that each applicant for a position is selected on the basis of qualifications, merit and ability.

CROSS REF.:  AC, Nondiscrimination

NOTE:  Although it is not usually necessary to have a policy that simply restates existing law, in this case it is important to reaffirm the School Committee's commitment to equal opportunity and to remind the hiring authorities in the District that many considerations other than District educational goals are factors to be considered. 

This is also the category in which to include an affirmative action policy and plans.  Details of the affirmative action plan could follow the Committee's policy as a School Committee-approved procedure.  The cross references are to related statements in this manual.
