San Diego Unified to Honor Classified Employee of the Year
Hundreds are expected to attend a celebration recognizing Classified Employees of the Year.
WHAT: Each year, San Diego Unified honors its classified employees during Classified School Employees Week, which is designated by the California Legislature each May. Classified school employees play crucial roles in education. From transporting and feeding students to teaching them vital skills and ensuring that schools operate smoothly, classified employees are integral to public education.
