Classified School Employee Week honors student service providers

printer friendly version

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Delaine Eastin has asked all Californians to recognize the valuable contributions that classified school employees make to public schools during "Classified School Employee Week," May 21-27.

The week honors more than 180,000 people who provide support services for students.

Classified school employees include secretaries, clerks, instructional aides, custodians, maintenance personnel, food service workers, bus drivers, peace officers and others.

"They are a vital component for any school to function efficiently," Eastin said.

The California Legislature passed a resolution in 1985 honoring the role of classified school employees. With the passage of Senate Bill 1552 in 1986, Classified School Employee Week became an annual event designated by law during the third full week of every May.
