4 CRIMINAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION AUTHORIZATION: I hereby certify that the above information is true, accurate, and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. Any misrepresentation or omission of fact shall be sufficient cause for disqualification of this application or termination of employment. I understand that Cincinnati Christian Schools reserves the right to accept or reject this application. I agree to observe all rules, regulations, and policies of Cincinnati Christian Schools. I hereby authorize Cincinnati Christian Schools to conduct work history, personal reference, and police record inquiries to determine my acceptability for employment. I further understand that if employed, the employment is temporary pending completion of all required documents and the outcome of history and background investigations. Since references are for my benefit, I do hereby release those providing information concerning me from any liability for damage of any nature as a result of furnishing such information. In accordance with Ohio School Law a Bureau of Criminal Investigation Check and an FBI check must be completed (fingerprinting). While this will be necessary if you are offered a position, it is not for the initial application process. These must be completed at a local law enforcement office at the prospective employee s expense. NON-DISCRIMINATORY POLICY: As an equal opportunity employer, CCS will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or ethnic origin in the administration of recruiting and hiring personnel (in any position-certified or non-certified), its educational policies, scholarships, financial aid, education programs, or extra-curricular activities. Cincinnati Christian Schools were established to provide a quality Christian education and to assist parents in the spiritual development of their students, and are not intended to be an alternative school for those wishing to avoid public school initiated, court, or agency ordered desegregation. EMPLOYEE CONDUCT POLICY: Employees shall manifest by precept and example the highest Christian virtue and personal decorum, serving as a Christian role model (I Timothy 4:12) both in and out of school to pupils (Luke 6:40), and as an example to parents and fellow employees in judgment, dignity, respect, and Christian living. As an employee of Cincinnati Christian Schools, you affirm that in your service, you will abide by the Biblical exhortation of (Titus 1:7-9 NIV) to be blameless, not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather, you will be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. I will hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that I can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute 4

5 those who oppose it. In that light, you will refrain from participating in any situation or activity that violates the spirit of this affirmation. Employees agree that the Scripture dictates standards of sexual behavior. Any promiscuity, homosexuality, or other deviant sexual behavior is forbidden and as such violates the bona fide occupational requirement of being a Christian role model. (Romans 1:24-32) Such deviation from Scriptural standards is grounds for termination. (Romans 12:1-2, I Corinthians 6:9-20, Ephesians 4:1-11, I Thessalonians 4:3-8, I Timothy 4:12, II Timothy 2:19-22, I Peter 1:15-16, 2:15-17, I John 3:1-3) CINCINNATI CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS STATEMENT OF FAITH The Cincinnati Christian Schools Statement of Faith is a fundamental aspect of our core beliefs, values, and philosophy and is essential to our daily operations and conduct.
