Classified Man, Woman of Year Saluted
Annual Support Staff Honors for "Backbone of District"
SAN DIEGO - San Diego Unified School District's Classified Employees of
the Year are Amir Rahim, a Race-Human Relations Education Assistant, and
Sylvia Garcia, a Student Information System Site Technician II.
The pair, and all site classified employees of the year, will be honored
at a celebration scheduled for 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 19, at University
City High School, 6949 Genessee Ave. (92122). As this is a scheduled
meeting of the Board of Education, it is open to the public.
"These hard-working men and women are so dedicated to our children,"
said Superintendent Terry Grier. "They're responsible for keeping our
schools safe and clean, keeping the grades and attendance straight --
thousands of tasks every day to keep a school running."
Classified employees are those without teaching credentials and include
custodians, office support staff, classroom assistants, and central
office staff and managers. This is the 26th year that the district has
chosen Classified Employees of the Year.
Rahim is a Race-Human Relations Education Assistant in the Race-Human
Relations and Advocacy Department. A 12-year San Diego Unified employee,
he helps students to become responsible and cooperative citizens by
assisting school communities in seeking ways to value and respect
diversity.
Garcia is Student Information System Site Technician II at Gaspar de
Portola Middle School in Tierrasanta. A 24-year San Diego Unified
employee, she manages all school data, grades, transfers and the school
master schedule, as well as helping with Spanish translation needs.
"Our classified staff is the backbone of our district," said Grier.
"This honor is a small way we can say thank you to all of them."
