Cathedral School for Boys Faculty and Staff Handbook 2017-18

To comply with applicable laws ensuring equal employment opportunities for qualified individuals with a disability, the school will make reasonable accommodations for known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified individual who is an applicant or an employee to the extent the accommodation will enable them to perform the essential functions of the job unless undue hardship would result. Any applicant or employee who requires an accommodation in order to perform the essential functions of the job should contact their direct supervisor or the Head of School.
