Today Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevadas First District re-introduced the Recognizing Achievement in Classified School Employees Act. This legislation acknowledges the dedicated work of classified school employees by seeking to establish a National Classified School Employees of the Year Award Program. Classified school employees are the bus drivers, secretaries, school nurses, custodians, and other support staff who keep schools running to help students learn and enable teachers to teach. Whether they are in the classroom alongside teachers, helping to establish and promote a high-quality instructional educational environment, or in a bus making sure that students arrive at school safely and on time so they are ready to learn, these classified employees play a vital role in our schools; and they should be recognized for the outstanding work that they do, Congresswoman Titus said. The Recognizing Achievement in Classified School Employees Act proposes the nomination of one classified school employee of the year for the Secretary of Educations approval. The award winner will be chosen from the following classified staff categories: paraprofessionals, clerical services, custodial and maintenance services, transportation services, food services, skilled trades, health and student services, security services, and technical services. Classified school employees work tirelessly to ensure the success of our students and public schools, Titus said. Yet too often their contributions go unrecognized. That is why I am proud to introduce a bill that would officially recognize their contribution to helping students meet the highest educational standards. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
