Classified staff members are non-credentialed employees
who provide everyday support to the district’s students, teachers and
administrators. They include secretaries and clerical staff, maintenance and
custodial staff, computer technicians, campus supervisors, instructional
assistants and more.
“These honorees were selected by their school or
department for their outstanding service, hard work and commitment to the
community, students and staff of our district,” explained Terri Shiner,
director of classified personnel. “Through their invaluable contributions and specialized
services, they provide instructional, technical, and administrative support, as
well as a safe and healthy environment in which to work and learn.”
Framed portraits of this year’s Classified Employee of
the Year honorees will be on display in the district administrative center for
the year.
