ADA Services for School Staff

Our school system is committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment for all employees. In accordance with state and federal laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), we provide reasonable accommodations to qualified staff members with disabilities to ensure equal access to employment opportunities and workplace participation.

Accommodations may include:

  • Modifications to work schedules or duties
  • Assistive technology or equipment
  • Accessible facilities and workspaces
  • Support during the hiring or onboarding process

These services are designed to enable employees with disabilities to perform the essential functions of their jobs and to fully engage in the professional community. Requests for accommodations are handled confidentially and assessed on a case-by-case basis.
