EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYMENT AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
CERTIFIED AND NON-CERTIFIED PERSONNEL
The Sentral Community School District shall provide equal opportunity to all employees and applicants for employment in accordance with all applicable Equal Employment Opportunity laws, directives and regulations of federal, state and local governing bodies and agencies. The district shall take affirmative action in recruitment, appointment, assignment and advancement of women, minorities and disabled. Employees shall be given notice of this policy annually.
Individuals who file an application with the school district will be given consideration for employment if they meet or exceed the qualifications set by the board, administration and State Department of Education for the position for which they apply. In employing school district personnel, the board shall consider the qualifications, credentials, and records of the applicants without regard to race, color, creed, sex, marital status, national origin, religion, age or disability. In keeping with the law, the board shall consider the veteran status of applicants.
It is also the policy of this agency to provide a fair and supportive work environment for all employees regardless of their gender, race, national origin, religion, age, marital status or disability. Harassment of a sexual nature or with demeaning intent related to race, national origin, gender, disability, age, marital status, or religion, made by one employee to another is a violation of this policy.
Inquiries by employees or applicants for employment regarding compliance with equal employment opportunity and affirmative action shall be directed to the Affirmative Action Coordinator-Sentral Community School District-Fenton, Iowa 50539. Inquiries may also be directed, in writing, to the Iowa Civil Right Department or to the Director of the Region VII Office of Civil Rights Department of Education, Kansas City, Missouri. Such inquiry or complaint to the state or federal office may be done instead of or in addition to, an inquiry or complaint at the local level.
Further information and copies of the procedures for filing a complaint are available in the district's central administration office and the administrative office in each district attendance center.
