Friendly staff but poor management of accommodations

Pros

One employee who works to manage employee accommodations is very friendly.

Cons

I am writing this review based on the very poor management of employee accommodations. The process is difficult to navigate, they require extensive medical information prior to even considering accommodations, and do not provide basic and common accommodations despite evidence. In general, the process goes against human rights and disability legislation, and I do not believe they are acting in good faith as is both the requirement of law and the ethical choice for a school board.
