The 2024 Third Annual Contra Costa SELPA Community Advisory Committee Awards were held this last Wednesday, March 6th. Jayne Ridolfi, our Special Day Class teacher from Edna Hill Middle School, was recognized for her outstanding contribution to the students, families and teaching community of Edna Hill. Jayne is an amazing educator who not only supports the students in her class to succeed, she supports other teachers as well. Jayne thinks outside of the box to come up with creative solutions that are truly individualized and student centered. She goes above and beyond for her students, families and her colleagues. Her classroom is a warm, loving and inspiring environment where students feel safe and successful. Jayne is valued and highly respected by the paraprofessionals who support the teaching work in the classroom. Jayne is a well-rounded, high quality educator and we are very lucky to work with her every day!
The CCSELPA CAC Awards celebrate the excellence individuals have shown in supporting our special needs students. The CAC and the Contra Costa SELPA represent 15 local school districts and our County Office of Education. One award winner was be chosen per District and the County Office of Education. #WeareBUSD
