I authorize former and present employers, and professional, work, and personal references listed in the application and any other individuals I may name, to give the School or its designee any and all information concerning my previous employment and any pertinent information they may have, personal or otherwise and release such parties from all liability for any damages that may result from furnishing same to the School. I also authorize the School to provide truthful information concerning my employment with it to future employers and I agree to hold it harmless for providing such information.
I understand that the School reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law, to require drug and alcohol screening tests of an applicant or an employee either prior to employment or any time during employment and I hereby give my consent to any such tests. I consent to the release of the results of any such tests to the School or its designee. I release the School and its designee from any and all liability and damages which may result or arise from any drug test or the provision of information in connection with such a test.
I understand that this employment application and any other School documents are not promises of employment.
