From the time students board a school bus to the time they head home at the end of the day, every aspect of their educational experience is impacted by a classified school employee. Classified school employees play crucial roles in education. From transporting and feeding students to teaching them vital skills and ensuring that schools are operating smoothly, classified employees are integral to public education. California’s Legislature recognizes the important contributions of classified school employees and named the third full week of May “Classified School Employee Week” to honor these contributions.
