    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 Department invites the governor of each 
state to nominate up to two classified school employees. The Secretary 
of Education will select a single classified school employee to receive 
the RISE Award for that school year by spring. The Department will 
communicate the selectee's story in order to inspire other innovative 
practices and excellence among classified school employees.
