RECRUITING AND HIRING OF ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF
The Board affirms its commitment to the strict prohibition of discrimination in employment on the basis of race (including traits associated with race involving hair texture, Afro hairstyles and protective hairstyles such as braids, twists and locks), color, national origin or ancestry, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, familial status, genetic information or disability, and to the principle of affirmative action to obtain wide and representative candidate pools.
In accordance with 20-A MRSA, § 1001(13), the Superintendent shall prepare a procedure designed to ensure nondiscriminatory practice in recruitment and hiring for all positions requiring administrator certification, as well as to result in selection of the most qualified candidates. This procedure shall be attached hereto as GCFB-R and shall be reviewed periodically.
Moreover, upon each occasion of administrative vacancy, the Superintendent shall review the procedure and make appropriate adaptations as may be warranted by special circumstances.
In accordance with 20-A MRSA, § 4502 (4-A), the unit’s Affirmative Action Plan shall include: a description of the status of the unit’s nondiscriminatory administrator hiring practice; plans for in-service training programs on gender equity for teachers, administrators and the Board.
