There may be times when an employee is contacted by the press or other media with questions relating to Geneva. While maintaining a friendly and gracious tone, the employee should refuse to comment on matters pertaining to employment and the School procedures and policies and refer any such calls to the HOS or Advancement Director. To protect the privacy of our students, comments to or on media regarding students are prohibited. This is necessary so that the school may present itself to the public with one voice, especially at times of crisis or controversy. Commenting to the media, press or internet solicitation for information regarding School-related matters while in the course and scope of duties as an employee for Geneva, is discouraged and without the express written permission of the HOS, could be regarded as a violation of employee practices and grounds for discipline, up to and including termination of employment.
