The district has a duty to teach students proper citizenship and respect for the law, and teachers have an obligation to serve as role models for students. Because the district teaches students about the dangers of chemical abuse and because the district is entrusted with the supervision of minors, the district cannot have employees performing duties while under the influence of dangerous substances or substances which adversely affect reaction time and good judgment. Information concerning past illegal acts will be considered along with the time of the offense, the seriousness and nature of the violation, any rehabilitations and your subsequent employment history.

It is the policy of the McAlester Board of Education to provide equal opportunity in all its operations and in all areas of employment practice and to assure that there shall be no discrimination against any employee or applicant on the grounds of age, race, religion, sex, color, national origin, ancestry, or handicapping conditions. This application will serve as your request to add your name to our list of applicants. The acceptance of an application is not a promise of employment. I understand that my application will remain active for one year after receipt and that I must notify the Superintendent’s office, in writing, if I desire to be considered beyond that period of time. By signing your initials below, you agree that the District may contact your previous employers and ask them more detailed questions about your prior work experience, if you specifically consent to the release of information by these prior employers to the District, and agree to release such prior employers, their employees, and their governing boards, from any and all causes of action or other potential claims which you could have against them for answering questions about your work experience. This consent is a covenant not to sue any prior employer, their employees, or their board members from defamation, regardless of what said prior employers may relate to the District regarding your previous employment experience. By signing your initials below, you confirm you have read this consent and release of all claims, and in consideration of being considered an applicant for employment agree to its terms. By signing your initials below, you agree to take a physical examination at district expense if requested. By signing your initials below, you do hereby certify that to the best of your knowledge and belief all of the facts and statements contained in this application are correct and true.
