Employee Recognition

Do you know of a custodian, tradesperson, food services employee, payroll technician, paraprofessional, instructional assistant, school secretary, or office manager in the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) who you think is doing excellent work for the children and staff of this district?  Alameda community members now have a chance to nominate AUSD employees for the state's Classified School Employee of the Year program. The community's nominations go first to the school district, which then chooses nominees to send to the Alameda County Office of Education. The county office, in turn, sends nominations to the California Department of Education (CDE).

This year's deadline is March 27, 2023.

Who is eligible? You can nominate classified AUSD employees in the following five categories:

• Food and nutrition services  
• Custodial and maintenance services
• Clerical and administrative   
• Health and student services
• Paraprofessional services
• Security services
• Skilled trades services
• Technical services

(The state also takes nominees for a ninth category, Transportation, but AUSD has no staff working in that category.)

Please submit your nomination to Humera Khalil in Human Resources by 5 pm March 27, 2023.
