Celebrate CSEW May 21-27, 2023
Each May, California salutes the important contributions of classified school employees during “Classified School Employee Week” (CSEW).;
Classified employees have earned respect as educators and partners in the education community. More importantly, they have become recognized as the essential frontline workers who kept our schools running through the COVID-19 pandemic and helped schools reopen their doors to students of all ages.
- Custodial and maintenance staff are keeping our campuses clean and safe.
- Bus drivers and transportation staff are getting students to school safely.
- Office staff are meeting the needs of students, parents and administrators.
- Food service workers are keeping students fed and ready to learn.
- Technical staff are keeping everyone connected and online.
- Paraeducators are supporting students as they overcome so many new challenges.
- School safety officers are keeping an eye on our schoolgrounds to keep them secure.
“Meeting students’ basic needs as well as their social and emotional needs has been more important than ever,” said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond. “Thankfully, our classified employees have made heroic efforts to step up and support California’s students so they can continue to learn.”
