Employment of Persons with Disabilities

The Board has developed an Affirmative Employment Plan for the hiring, placement, and advancement of persons with disabilities and has a formal policy on Employment of Persons with Disabilities.

A person is considered to have a disability if he or she has a physical or medical condition that substantially limits one or more major life activities, has a record of such impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment.

Employees with disabilities may request accommodations by completing a "Request for Reasonable Accommodation" form, available from their division management. All medical and other information provided by employees regarding disability is confidential and is maintained separately from the employees' personnel files.
