For decades, DSEA has championed Education Support Professionals (ESPs), their efforts to gain full inclusion in the Union, fair and equitable pay, and their full recognition as accomplished professionals.
Education Support Professionals strengthen our schools, communities, and associations across the country. They play an important role on the education team and in the lives of students both inside and outside of the classroom. They keep our schools running and our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn every day.
DSEA's ESP members represent 8 of the 9 ESP career families.*
- Clerical services
- Custodial and maintenance services
- Food services
- Paraeducators
- Security services
- Skilled trades
- Technical services
- Transportation services
**An ESP career family is a group of ESP professions that share similar core job skills, responsibilities, education, and training. DSEA currently does not represent members in the Health and Student Services family.
