It is the policy of the Wake County Board of Education to provide all applicants for employment with equal employment opportunities and to provide current employees with training, compensation, promotion, and other attributes of employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, or citizenship status, except where sex, age, or physical requirements are essential occupational qualifications.  All candidates will be evaluated on their merits and qualifications for positions.

The Wake County Board of Education also recognizes the educational and professional advantages of racial, sexual and cultural diversity in the make-up of the employees who serve the students enrolled in the Wake County Public School System.  Therefore, the board is also committed to an employee recruitment program that will result in a staff that reflects the racial, sexual, and cultural diversity of the Wake County community and the students who attend the Wake County Public School System.  Further, the school district shall make positive efforts to recruit qualified disabled individuals.
