The Tulsa Board of Education fully supports a policy of equal employment opportunity in all job classifications of Independent School District Number One. Equal Opportunity shall be provided for all regular employees and applicants for employment on the basis of their demonstrated ability and competence without discrimination because of their race, religion, sex, national origin or age. The Tulsa Board of Education further recognizes that the effective application of a policy of equal employment opportunity involves undertaking a program of affirmative action in employment. All school-district personnel concerned with recruitment, hiring, training, assignments, promotions, transfer, compensation, dismissal and all other employment practices are directed to govern personnel actions and procedures within the intent of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Equal Employment Act of 1972, and additional laws and orders that pertain to the employment policies of the Tulsa Public Schools. This policy supplements the non-discrimination policy adopted on March 2, 1970.
