NOTICE UNDER THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal civil rights law designated to prevent discrimination and enable individuals with disabilities to participate fully in all aspects of society
It is the policy of Athenian Academy of Technology and the Arts, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), to guarantee that qualified individuals with disabilities have the same opportunities and are not discriminated against in regard to job application procedures, hiring, advancement, discharge, compensation, job training, or other terms, conditions, or privileges of employment. We will provide reasonable accommodation(s) to a qualified individual, when necessary, to enable the individual to perform the essential functions of their job position or during the application process, if the accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on the operation of the school’s business.
Employees seeking accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are encouraged to notify their immediate supervisor as soon as they can about the need for an accommodation, or they may contact the ADA Coordinator directly. Communicating your needs clearly and promptly sets the groundwork for a productive dialogue. Once an employee requests a reasonable accommodation, the school will work with the employee to determine the best course of action and the reasonable accommodations that may be provided.
Supervisory employees who believe an employee may need an accommodation under the ADA must contact the ADA Coordinator, who will assist in determining the employee’s limitations and any resulting impact on their ability to perform essential duties. The ADA Coordinator will engage in the interactive process with the employee and site supervisor to identify and recommend reasonable accommodations that may be provided.
Please note: Athenian Academy of Technology and the Arts may require medical documentation to determine if an employee or applicant has an impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. If additional information is requested, you may be required to complete and sign an Authorization for the Release of Medical Information. Failure to provide supporting medical information to the School may result in a denial of your request for reasonable accommodation.
Reasonable accommodations are available for persons with disabilities to complete the application and/or interview process. Applicants/individuals with disabilities requesting accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may contact the ADA Coordinator at 727-372-0200 or email evan.markowitz@aaota.org for assistance.
