Classified School Employee Week

May 16—22, 2010

Professionals on the job, Leaders in the community
Since 1986, California has taken the third week in May to honor the invaluable contributions of classified school employees.

From the bus drivers who pick up kids to take them to school to the food service workers making lunches to the financial aid staff who find the money to cover college tuition, CSEA members are the classified employees that make our schools run smoothly.

The celebration began with CSEA
Classified School Employee Week began as a resolution at CSEA’s Annual Conference in 1984. Two years later, it was adopted as California Senate Bill 1552 and decreed to be an official recognition of classified school employees. Today, CSEA members celebrate the week with picnics, barbecues and other social events. At work, many members wear CSEA shirts and other symbols of union pride.
