The School also complies with all applicable laws prohibiting discrimination based on religion.

Additionally, the School will provide a reasonable accommodation to employees who are victims or whose family members are victims of domestic violence, sexual offenses, or stalking if necessary to ensure security and safety.
For an employee to request an accommodation, they should contact their supervisor, the School Administrator, or Director of Finance.
