The process of nominating a candidate for the Outstanding School-Based Operational Employee award begins through each school's awards liaison. The awards liaison at each school has information about the nomination process and deadlines.
Any FCPS employee or community member can nominate a school-based operational employee for this award, but employees may not nominate themselves. The employee being nominated must be aware of and in agreement with the nomination. Eligible employees must currently work as a Schedule-A, Schedule-H, or Classroom Instructional Support (CIS) employee who has completed at least one contracted year of employment working with FCPS in their current position at their current work location, or an hourly employee who has been working regularly in one position for more than one year.
Nominees are school-based operational employees who:
All schools will conduct a local nomination process to determine their Outstanding School-Based Operational Employee. The Outstanding School-Based Operational Employees from every school then go on to the pyramid level where a Pyramid Outstanding School-Based Operational Employee is selected and put forward to the Region level. The Region winners will be the finalists for the overall Fairfax County Public Schools Outstanding School-Based Operational Employee.
All school-level honorees will be recognized. The annual FCPS Outstanding School-Based Operational Employee will be announced at the FCPS Honors event and will receive $4000. In recognition of collaborative teamwork, the FCPS award winners and their colleagues will also receive a celebration at their worksite.
Please contact the school's awards liaison with questions or visit the Outstanding Employee Awards web page.
