I understand that Downtown Academy does not discriminate in its employment practices against any person because of race, color, national or ethnic origin, gender, age, or qualified disability. I hereby certify that the facts set forth in this application process are true and complete to the best of my knowledge.
I understand that falsification of any statement or significant omission of facts may prevent me from being hired, or if hired, may subject me to immediate dismissal regardless of the time elapsed before discovery. If my employment is terminated under these circumstances, I further understand and agree that I will be paid and receive benefits only through the date of termination.
I authorize Downtown Academy to thoroughly interview the primary references that I have listed, any secondary references mentioned through interviews with primary references, or other individuals who know me and have knowledge regarding my testimony, work history, or any other statement made by me in
this application. I also authorize the school to thoroughly investigate my work records and evaluations, my educational preparation, and other matters related to my suitability for the position.
I authorize references and my former employers to disclose to the school any and all employment records, performance reviews, letters, reports, and other information related to my life and employment, without giving me prior notice of such disclosure. In addition, I hereby release the school, its offices, board
members, agents, employees, my former employers, references, and all other parties from any and all claims demands, liabilities or losses arising out of or in any way related to such investigation or disclosure. I waive the right to ever personally view any references given to the school.
Since I will be working with children, I understand that I must submit to a full background check by the FBI and any other federal and state authorities necessary or desirable in the sole discretion of the school. I agree to fully cooperate in providing and recording as many sets of my fingerprints as are necessary for such an investigation. I authorize the school to conduct a criminal records check. I understand and agree that any offer of employment that I may receive from the school is conditioned upon the receipt of background information, including but not limited to criminal background information acceptable to the school in its sole and absolute discretion. The school may refuse employment or terminate any employment if any background information deemed to be unfavorable or would reflect adversely on the school or on me as a Christian role model in the sole and absolute discretion of the school.
I understand that this is only an application for employment and that no employment contract is being offered at this time. I also acknowledge and agree that any offer of employment will be subject to my acceptance and execution of an employment contract for the 2019-2020 school year and, that employment agreement notwithstanding, I will be an employee at will in accordance with Georgia law.
I certify that I have read and do understand the above statements.
