The School Sector Logo
In 1995, the School Sector decided to adopt a logo that would include the following criteria.:
- A clear representation of all the categories of support-staff working in the FEESP/CSN School Sector.
- A concept that would illustrate the types of work accomplished by these unionized employees.
This is the logo we are now so familiar with – an image of typical school that exists here in Quebec. By adding the graphics that illustrate the various categories of employment on different floors, the Executive Committee wanted to emphasize the importance of support-staff personnel at every level. It also underlines the fact that the expertise of support-staff plays a role in in contributing to student success. Versions of this logo can be found on all official communications from the School Sector, as well as on posters. A button in the form of the logo is also available.
