The Woodbury
Central Community School District will provide equal opportunity to employees
and applicants for employment in accordance with applicable equal employment
opportunity and affirmative action laws, directives and regulations of federal,
state and local governing bodies.
Opportunity to all employees and applicants for employment includes
hiring, placement, promotion, transfer or demotion, recruitment, advertising or
solicitation for employment, treatment during employment, rates of pay or other
forms of compensation, and layoff or termination. The school district will take affirmative
action in major job categories where women, men, minorities and persons with
disabilities are underrepresented. Employees
will support and comply with the district's established equal employment
opportunity and affirmative action policies.
Employees will be given notice of this policy annually.
The board will
appoint an affirmative action coordinator.
The affirmative action coordinator will have the responsibility for
drafting the affirmative action plan.
The affirmative action plan will be reviewed by the board at least every
two years.
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 Iowa Department of Education for the position for which
they apply. In employing individuals,
the board will consider the qualifications, credentials, and records of the
applicants without regard to race, color, creed, sex, national origin,
religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. In keeping with the law, the board will
consider the veteran status of applicants.
Prior to a final
offer of employment for any teaching position the school district will perform
the background checks required by law.
The district may determine on a case-by-case basis that, based on the
duties, other positions within the district will also require background
checks. Based upon the results of the
background checks, the school district will determine whether an offer will be
extended. If the candidate is a teacher
who has an initial license from the BOEE, then the requirement for a background
check is waived.
Advertisements
and notices for vacancies within the district will contain the following
statement: "The Woodbury Central
Community School District is an EEO/AA employer." The statement will also appear on application
forms.
Inquiries by
employees or applicants for employment regarding compliance with equal
employment opportunity and affirmative action laws and policies, including but
not limited to complaints of discrimination, will be directed to the
Affirmative Action Coordinator by writing to the Affirmative Action
Coordinator, Woodbury Central Community School District, 408 S. 4th
Street, Moville, Iowa 51039; or by telephoning (712) 873-3128 ext. 104.
Inquiries by employees or
applicants for employment regarding compliance with equal employment
opportunity and affirmative action laws and policies, including but not limited
to complaints of discrimination, may also be directed in writing to the
