Nonsectarian Policy

Accelerate Education welcomes into membership people representing a diversity of cultures, ethnic backgrounds, and political and religious beliefs. Creed, color, race and economic status are irrelevant to qualification for employment. Accelerate Education employees should be hospitable to all — supporting no one religion over another and according each faith equal respect and consideration.

Accelerate Education employees should be aware of each school district’s policy where Accelerate Education provides services regarding the celebration of religious holidays and should work closely with school administrators to observe whatever guidelines have been established.
