EDUCATION SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS
Education support professionals (ESPs) are the behind-the-scenes heroes of the public education system. Bus drivers, cafeteria workers, nurses, custodians and security guards keep everything running smoothly in our schools, and ESPs are valued members in the Arkansas Education Association. We encourage any and all education support professionals to join the AEA and become active advocates for our cause.
