    Abstract: The purpose of the Recognizing Inspirational School 
Employees (RISE) Award is to recognize and promote the commitment and 
excellence exhibited by classified school employees who provide 
exemplary service to students in pre-kindergarten through high school 
and to inspire innovation and excellence among all classified school 
employees. A classified school employee is an employee of a state or 
any political subdivision of a state or an employee of a nonprofit 
entity who works in any grade from pre-kindergarten through high school 
in any of the following occupational specialties: paraprofessional 
clerical and administrative services transportation services food and 
nutrition services custodial and maintenance services security services 
health and student services technical services and skilled trades. The 
terms used have the meaning given the terms in section 8101 of the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 7801). The 
U.S. Department of Education (Department) invites the governor of each 
state to nominate up to two classified school employees by November 1 
annually. Prior to May 31 of each year, the Secretary of Education 
shall select a single classified employee to receive the national RISE 
Award for that school year. The Department will communicate the 
national honoree-s story in order to inspire other innovative practices 
and excellence among classified school employees nationwide.
