In addition, I hereby release the school, my former employers, references, and all other parties from any and all claims, demands, or liabilities arising out of or in any way related to such investigation or disclosure.

I understand and agree that any offer of employment that I may receive from the school is conditioned upon the receipt of background information, including criminal background information.
