Affirmative Action: Recruitment and Selection
Equal Employment Opportunity
The Board of Education will provide equal employment opportunities for all persons without
regard to race, color, religious creed, age, marital status, national origin, sex, sexual orientation
or physical disability. The Board of Education directs the administration to set as a goal the
recruitment, selection and employment of qualified people among racial and ethnic minority
groups to the end that the school district’s employees will proportionately mirror the racial and
ethnic composition of this community.
The Board of Education requests an annual report from the Superintendent of Schools
concerning the extent to which the above-mentioned affirmative action program goals are
being achieved.
No advertisement of employment opportunities may by intent or design restrict employment
based upon discrimination as defined by law.
