The Olympia School District Board of Directors proclaimed March 10-14 as Education Support Professionals Week.
The board endorsed the proclamation at a meeting on Feb. 27.
Education Support Professionals include staff providing maintenance, food, sanitation and other specialized support services.
“These dedicated individuals deserve recognition and thanks for the outstanding work they are doing for this state, their communities, and the students enrolled in Olympia's schools,” the proclamation states.
The proclamation also states education support professionals are instrumental in fulfilling the state's responsibility to educate all students.
There are around 700 education support professionals in the district who partner with teachers, parents, administrators and school boards.
Student representatives Vy Le and Sovana Roberts took turns reading the proclamation.
“We, the members of the Olympia School Board and the Superintendent, do hereby proclaim the week of March 10-14, 2025, as Education Support Professionals Week in the Olympia School District, and I urge all staff and citizens to join me in this special observance,” the proclamation states.
OSD Board President Scott Clifthorne echoed those remarks.
“Thank you very much, education support professionals,” Clifthorne said.
