The Jefferson School District 14J Board of Directors voted to adopt Resolution 02/2021 designating March 2021 as Classified Employee Appreciation Week.
The resolution, read aloud for the record, praises classified employees as “the backbone of our public education system” who support operations from transportation and maintenance to nutrition and direct instruction. The chair moved to adopt the resolution and a board member seconded the motion; the board approved the measure by voice vote, with the chair recorded as voting aye.
Why it matters: Classified staff perform many day-to-day functions that keep schools running, and the board said the recognition will encourage community appreciation and staff morale.
Board procedure and clarification: Members noted a typographical/numbering discrepancy in the packet (the printed copy showed a 2020 numbering string). A board member volunteered to correct the resolution number on the official document before it was finalized.
Direct quote: The chair said, “We do truly, truly value and appreciate our classified staff.”
What’s next: The resolution will be filed with the district records; no further action was taken during the meeting on related policy changes.
