“I am so very proud that Bernie will now represent all ESPs (Education Support Professionals) for the state of Florida. He has done a stellar job as the vice president of Broward’s ESP and I know he will continue to advocate for our children, parents and educators in his new role.

Kemp was elected almost three years ago as the vice president of ESPs for the BTUs. He has worked tirelessly to have ESP’s recognized for who they are and for what they do every day for the children and families of Broward. Bernie has been a strong advocate for his members. The education support professional are comprised of teachers assistants, classroom assistant, community liaisons, BRACE advisors, vocational and career advisor, ,job coaches, parent educators, behaviors technicians, home service educators, and other program assistants.
