Each year every school district throughout this State shall conduct a study within each school building to determine those educational support professionals who are deserving of the title “Educational Support Professional of the Year” from that building. One Educational Support Professional of the Year may be selected to represent all of the charter schools in the State. The selection process will follow the guidelines developed by the Department of Education which include input from educational support professionals, administrators and Department of Education staff. After the buildings make their individual selections, the district-wide Educational Support Professional of the Year shall be selected from each district, following the current guidelines. The final step will be the selection of the state “Educational Support Professional of the Year.”
