One of the objectives of the district’s programs, curriculum, services, and teaching strategies is to reduce stereotyping and to eliminate bias on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, creed, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and socioeconomic status. The curriculum, programs, and services shall foster respect and appreciation for the cultural diversity found in our country and an awareness of the rights, duties, and responsibilities of each individual as a member of a pluralistic society.
It is the policy of this District to affirmatively recruit those, members of diverse racial/ethnic groups, and persons with disabilities for job categories where they are underrepresented.
