Many states—including Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware, Michigan, Vermont, and Washington—have or are creating their own ESP Bill of Rights.
RESPECT | Raising Education Support Professionals by Elevating Careers Together is a statewide effort by ESPs and ESP allies, with the support of IEA staff, to improve working conditions by focusing on four areas: livible wage, affordable health insurance, ability to retire with dignity, and initiatives that retain and recruit new staff.
You are invited to join our rESPect steering meeting on November 14th, 5:30-7:00pm. Your voice is needed at our table to help push our goals forward.
