Please feel free to forward this email to others in your school district.<br \/>\nIn 2021, it is a wonderful way for your district or charter school to recognize the dedication and skill that classified employees have brought to their work throughout the challenges of the past year. The program has some exciting changes this year to align it with the new Recognizing Inspiring School Employees (RISE<<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/programs\/rise\/index.html\">www2.ed.gov\/programs\/rise\/index.html<\/a>>) Award introduced by the U.S. Department of Education in 2020. The scope of CSEY has been expanded, and we now have the opportunity to recognize up to nine employees as Classified School Employees of the Year in Santa Barbara County \u2014 one each in the categories of:<br \/>\n1.  Paraprofessional 2.  Clerical and Administrative Services 3.  Transportation Services 4.  Food and Nutrition Services 5.  Custodial and Maintenance Services 6.  Security Services 7.  Health and Student Services 8.  Technical Services 9.  Skilled Trades<br \/>\nWe encourage you to submit a nomination from your district or charter school in each category relevant to your operations. If your district or school has not already done so, you may want to consider establishing an internal process for nomination and selection to celebrate your staff at the district or school level.   Another important change is that the longstanding requirement for three letters of recommendation has been eliminated. Only a single nomination document is now required for each nominee, describing their merit in the areas of work performance, school and community involvement, and other criteria.<br \/>\nAttached are:<br \/>\n 1.  nomination form in fillable PDF format, including instructions for the required documentation 2.  timeline for this year\u2019s program 3.  list of CSEY honorees in recent years.<br \/>\nOnce selections are made, 2021 recipients as well as 2020 awardees will be recognized at a Santa Barbara County Board of Education meeting (likely to be a virtual event), and the 2021 nomination materials will be forwarded to the CDE to be considered for recognition at the state level. Statewide CSEY awardees are eligible to be nominated to become a national RISE recipient.<br \/>\nFor each employee you wish to nominate, please submit:<br \/>\n 1.  the completed nomination form (attached) in fillable PDF format 2.  the required supplemental documentation (one document only) in Microsoft Word format<br \/>\nby email no later than Friday, April 9, 2021 to:<br \/>\nTracie Cordero, <a href=\"mailto:tcordero@sbceo.org\" >tcordero@sbceo.org<\/a><<a href=\"mailto:tcordero@sbceo.org\">mailto:<a href=\"mailto:tcordero@sbceo.org\" >tcordero@sbceo.org<\/a><\/a>> Classified Human Resources Specialist, (805) 964-4710, ext. 5212<br \/>\nor<br \/>\nAmy Ramos, <a href=\"mailto:aramos@sbceo.org\" >aramos@sbceo.org<\/a><<a href=\"mailto:aramos@sbceo.org\">mailto:<a href=\"mailto:aramos@sbceo.org\" >aramos@sbceo.org<\/a><\/a>> Director of Human Resources, <<a href=\"mailto:aramos@sbceo.org\">mailto:<a href=\"mailto:aramos@sbceo.org\" >aramos@sbceo.org<\/a><\/a>> (805) 450-1702<br \/>\nIf you have questions, please contact Tracie or Amy above.<br \/>\nDetailed nomination instructions are available here<<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ca.gov\/ta\/sr\/cl\/\">www.cde.ca.gov\/ta\/sr\/cl\/<\/a>> on the CDE website.<br \/>\nPlease note that district nominations must be submitted to SBCEO; nominations submitted directly to the CDE will not be processed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"postie-attachments\"><a href=\"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CSEY-2021-Nomination-Form-Santa-Barbara-County.pdf\"><img src='https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/wp-content\/plugins\/postie\/icons\/silver\/pdf-32.png' alt='pdf icon' \/> CSEY-2021-Nomination-Form-Santa-Barbara-County.pdf<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CSEY_Timeline_2021.pdf\"><img src='https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/wp-content\/plugins\/postie\/icons\/silver\/pdf-32.png' alt='pdf icon' \/> CSEY_Timeline_2021.pdf<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/CSEY-Awardees-2018-2020.pdf\"><img src='https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/wp-content\/plugins\/postie\/icons\/silver\/pdf-32.png' alt='pdf icon' \/> CSEY-Awardees-2018-2020.pdf<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear School Business Colleagues: It is our pleasure to invite&hellip;<a href=\"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/?p=584\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"more-button\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">SBCEO Classified School Employee of the Year Program Nominations<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-governance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=584"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1058,"href":"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584\/revisions\/1058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/business.sbceo.org\/memos\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
