45390
. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Classified school employees play a vital role in the education
of our pupils and students in our public schools and community
colleges. They do the essential work that keeps our campuses safe,
clean, and well maintained so that our pupils and students can get to
school, focus on learning, and succeed at their highest levels.
(b) Because classified school employees are on the front lines
working to ensure the safety and care of pupils and students on our
campuses, they need professional development and training to update
their skills and to learn the best practices for vital education
programs, including campus safety, academic achievement and
curriculum standards, special education, health care, child
nutrition, pupil transportation, environmental safety, and parental
involvement.
(c) Teachers and administrators serving pupils in kindergarten and
grades 1 to 12, inclusive, play vital roles in supporting a pupil's
ability to achieve academically, and providing professional
development training to teachers and administrators is essential to
this goal.
