Upcoming Events
Educational Support Professionals (ESPs) are the backbone of our schools, supporting students, strengthening classrooms, and helping entire communities thrive. Yet too often, their voices go unheard and their needs go unmet. The ESP Bill of Rights is a campaign to change that.
This initiative stands for dignity, respect, and fairness for every Educational Support Professional. It outlines the basic standards every ESP deserves, including safe working conditions, fair compensation, access to professional growth, and a meaningful voice in the decisions that impact their work and students.
We’re building a movement that recognizes the essential role ESPs play and demands the support they’ve long been denied. Together, we can raise expectations, drive change, and ensure that every ESP is respected as a vital part of public education.
