This policy shall apply to all district employees and, to the extent required by law, to interns, volunteers, and job applicants.
No district employee shall be discriminated against or harassed by any coworker, supervisor, manager, or other person with whom the employee comes in contact in the course of employment, on the basis of the employee's actual or perceived race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, age,
marital status, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, military and veteran status, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sex, or sexual orientation or his/her association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics.
Discrimination in employment based on the characteristics listed above is prohibited in all areas of employment and in all employment-related practices, including the following:
1. Discrimination in hiring, compensation, terms, conditions, and other privileges of employment.
2. Taking of an adverse employment action, such as termination or the denial of employment, promotion, job assignment, or training.
3. Unwelcome conduct, whether verbal, physical, or visual, that is so severe or pervasive as to adversely affect an employee's employment opportunities, or that has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with the individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
