VICE
PRINCIPAL
JOB POSTING
(SHARED
POSITIONS)
There is a
job posted for the
Vice Principal
positions that are
“shared”
positions. For
those applying,
there is a
requirement in the
posting to provide
information in the

Since this posting
is for many
different schools,

IMPORTANT
– NEW
ELECTRONIC
LINK
AVAILABLE!
FILL OUT
YOUR AASD
RECOMMITMENT
FORM
NOW!
This information
pertains to
current
AASD members who were
AASD members prior to
June 28, 2018. It
does NOT apply to
Affiliate members or
Retired members.
Many have asked how to
“re-join” AASD in light
of the Supreme Court
Decision, Janus v.
AFSCME. If you
were an AASD member on
June 27, 2018, per the
Decision, you
automatically stayed as
an AASD "Member in Good
Standing" and will
remain so.
However, we are asking
all AASD members to
re-commit to AASD by
completing the google
form (link
below). This
re-confirms your AASD
membership and ensures
that you have access to
the benefits of being an
AASD member – legal
representation, AASD
representation,
discounted services,
scholarships for your
children, professional
development
reimbursements,
etc.
Some
of you have already
filled out the new
membership form over
the past few
months – if so,
it is not necessary
to complete it
again. If you
have any questions
regarding the
re-commitment form,
please contact the
AASD office at
619-295-2118 or
e-mail one of the
AASD staff members
for
assistance.
Thank you in advance
for your commitment
to our Union –
AASD.

Greg is very aware
of the unique estate
planning issues that
can come into play

services to public
