Who are classified school personnel?

Classified school personnel refer to employees within the school system who do not require specific licensing or certification to perform their roles. This group typically includes a wide range of support staff, such as clerical workers, maintenance personnel, paraprofessionals, and other non-teaching staff who assist in the smooth operation of schools but do not directly provide classroom instruction.

This classification is important because it distinguishes between those who are involved in direct educational delivery, such as teachers who often need certification, and those who fulfill supportive roles that are essential for maintaining the school's functionality. While the other options mention various types of personnel, they either focus on roles that do require specific qualifications or describe administrative functions, which fall outside the classification of non-licensed support roles.
