<p><span class="text-small">* Please note: An individual’s eligibility to serve as faculty or staff at CRICS is not impacted by being born intersex.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2>Non-discrimination Statement</h2>
<p>CRICS maintains a policy of nondiscrimination with staff, student, and family members No aspect of study, community involvement, or employment with us will be influenced in any manner by sex, race, age, or disability. CRICS carefully preserves its right to select teaching faculty&nbsp;who will&nbsp;affirm&nbsp;the school's&nbsp;Statement of Faith and Lifestyle Statement and who will effectively&nbsp;advance the school's mission.</p>
<h2><strong>Conflict of Interest Statement</strong></h2>
<p>CRICS staff have a duty to reduce or eliminate any conflict of interest between their assigned school duties and any other connection, relationship, business, or other activity involvement. No CRICS staff should exploit their role or information obtained in the course of their duties to further their own private interest. All CRICS staff have a duty to disclose any potential or apparent conflict of interest which may affect their ability to carry out their role.</p>
<p>In keeping with the core values of biblical worldview and community, CRICS values both integrity in decision making and involvement of community members in various school roles (i.e., parent, teacher, staff, board member, volunteer). CRICS may hire relatives and spouses of other staff members provided they are approved through the appropriate application process. The goal is that no spouse will supervise the other in a school role, although exceptions may be made by the ELT.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many people in the CRICS community hold various roles with respect to the school community - parent, teacher, board member, administrator, department head, etc. Sometimes the best person for a particular role also holds other roles within the school community. The governing board (only for board members and head of school) and ELT carefully and prayerfully consider placements, also considering possible conflicts of interest. Healthy, God-honoring relationships include working relationships that recognize and respect the authority of various positions. Those holding multiple roles must be intentional about which “hat they are wearing” and must be cautious not to take advantage of power (perceived or otherwise) based on a certain role.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There is also a conflict of interest policy specifically for board members in the bylaws of both the governing and legal boards.</p>
<p><span class="text-small">Thanks to Faith International Academy (Davao, Philippines) &amp; Foundry Road Preschool UK for information supporting the creation of this policy.</span></p>
<h2>Core Values</h2>
<p>These core values guide every decision we make and shape the learning culture at CRICS.</p>
<p><strong>Excellence in Education</strong></p>
