School support staff, also known as Education Support Professionals (ESPs), strengthen our schools, communities, and associations across the country. They play a vital role on the education team and in students’ lives inside and outside the classroom. They keep our schools running and our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn every day.
More than a half million Education Support Professional members take care of our children every day and make sure they have the tools they need to succeed in our schools and classrooms. In WPS they include secretaries/office staff, classroom aides, maintenance workers, custodians, skilled trade workers, campus monitors, bus drivers, and bus monitors.
Take a moment out of your day and Thank an ESP!
