For more than 80 years, AFSCME Local 258 has been an advocate for classified employees within the Elk Grove Unified School District. 

Local 258 was chartered by a school district in 1940, and has been providing advocacy, education and services since EGUSD’s consolidation of the smaller districts across the area in 1959. 

Local 258 represents the most diverse group of workers in the EGUSD from the district’s main office to satellite locations, as well as each and every school site. Our workers include but are not limited to: maintenance, trades, food services, school and office assistants, district groundskeepers, library technicians, custodians, adult education, technology, accounting, and payroll.
