Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

Open Window School is an equal opportunity employer and makes employment decisions on the basis of merit and School needs. Creating an inclusive and professional environment where employees feel comfortable, safe, and free from inappropriate and disrespectful conduct is one of the School’s core values. Open Window School does not discriminate against (in any aspect of employment, including recruiting and hiring, job assignment, compensation, opportunities for advancement, promotion, transfers, evaluation, benefits, training, discipline, and termination), nor does it tolerate harassment by any person, including, co-workers, supervisors, and third parties, on the basis of any legally protected classification or characteristic (“ Protected Characteristics”) which includes: race (including hair texture and protected hairstyles), creed, national origin, age, color, sex (including pregnancy), citizenship or immigration status, honorably discharged veteran or military status, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, use of a trained guide dog or service animal by person with a disability, and protected genetic information.

 

Open Window School also prohibits discrimination and harassment based on the perception that an employee falls within one of the categories of Protected Characteristics or based on the employee’s association with a person who falls within, or is perceived to fall within, one of the categories of Protected Characteristics. These prohibitions apply in the workplace, on school trips, during meetings, at school-related social events, and at any other location where a School-sponsored event takes place.
