Conflicts of Interest: The Company is concerned with conflicts of interest that create actual or potential job-related concerns, especially in the areas of confidentiality, student relations, safety, security, and morale. If there is any actual or potential conflict of interest between an employee and a competitor, supplier, distributor, or contractor to the Company, the employee must disclose it to their manager. If an actual or potential conflict of interest is determined to exist, the Company will take such steps as it deems necessary to reduce or eliminate this conflict.

Job Descriptions: The Company attempts to maintain a job description for each position. If an employee needs to reference their job description, they should contact their manager.  Job descriptions prepared by the Company serve as an outline only. Due to business needs, employees may be required to perform job duties that are not within their written job description. Furthermore, the Company may have to revise, add to, or delete from job duties per business needs. On occasion, the Company may need to revise job descriptions with or without advance notice to employees.
