Today, the Clark County School District (CCSD) and the Education Support Employees Association (ESEA) signed a Memorandum of Agreement that will allow certain support professionals to receive pay of one and one-half times their regular pay.
“Many of our support professionals perform essential duties for CCSD students and must interact with the public,” said CCSD Board of School Trustees President Lola Brooks. “We understand we’re asking employees to go above and beyond their duties and I’m thankful we can offer them additional compensation during this time.”
Support professionals who will be provided with the additional compensation are Food Service professionals and custodians at food service distribution sites on CCSD campuses who are unable to perform their duties working from home and interact with the public.
“I would like to thank all our employees in essential positions who have made it possible for CCSD to provide our students with nearly one million meals during the current school closure,” said Superintendent Dr. Jesus F. Jara. “Our Food Service workers and custodians, are truly One Team with One Goal: Being #1 For Kids.”
“Our Education Support Professionals continue to be on the front lines of this public health crisis each and every day for our kids and community,” said Jan Giles, interim President of ESEA. “We appreciate that this Agreement creates a volunteer work process as well as additional compensation for our members. ESEA will continue advocating to keep our schools clean and safe while ensuring our kids remain fed during this period.”
