The California School Employees Association has recognized the Lassen County Office of Education with the 2024 Super Star Award for Most Honorable.
The award was presented by CSEA Regional Representative Deborah Smith to Patricia Gunderson, Lassen County Superintendent of Schools, during a recent visit to Susanville.
“This prestigious recognition highlights the Lassen County Office of Education’s dedication to fostering a supportive and collaborative environment for classified school employees and the broader educational community,” explains LCOE Communications Specialist Kaitlyn Midgely.
CSEA, established in 1927 by Oakland custodians seeking retirement benefits, is now the largest classified school employees union in the United States, representing nearly 250,000 school support staff across California. Its members play an indispensable role in public schools and community colleges.
“It is an incredible honor to accept this award on behalf of the Lassen County Office of Education,” said Gunderson. “This recognition reflects the hard work and commitment of our entire team and their dedication to creating a positive impact for students, staff, and the community.”
“CSEA continues to uphold its mission to improve the lives of members, students, and communities across the state. The Lassen County Office of Education is proud to stand alongside CSEA in advancing the goals of public education and supporting the vital work of classified employees.”
