DAILY UPDATE #3 --
3/18/2020
-
AASD Office Closure: March 16 through
April 3, 2020
Dear AASD Members in Good
Standing, Affiliate Members
and Retired Members:
AASD will be sending out a
daily update,
Monday-Friday, throughout the
school closure period.
At this time, schools are
closed through April 3, with
students returning April
6. Of course, that is
open to modification as we go
into the upcoming weeks.
The AASD Office will
remain closed during the
period of time the district is
closed. AASD staff will
be working remotely and can be
reached at the contact
information at the end of this
e-mail.
AASD has created a Google Form
for AASD Members to report
issues, questions or concerns
regarding work-related issues
and the COVID-19 virus.
Any issues, questions or
concerns submitted via the
Google form will be shared
daily with the District.
AASD will then share the
answers to issues, questions
or concerns submitted as those
answers are received from the
district.
The link to share
issues/questions/concerns
is:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVSsqBQSHboCdgqbnpaucUY--DHKjosG8MAmRuCxawzB4blg/viewform?usp=sf_link
Please do not share this link
outside of AASD membership
(classified and certificated
management/supervisors).
The link will be active until
this crisis is over.
PLEASE CHECK THE DISTRICT’S
WEBSITE TO ENSURE YOUR
ISSUE/QUESTION/ CONCERN HAS
NOT ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED
THERE.

Q and A (March 18,
2020) (Questions
were submitted by AASD
members; the answers are
from the District)
Q -- I received a notice on
March 10 to notify me that
all central certificated
administrators as well as
all vice principals they
may be released or
reassigned under pursuant
ed code 44951. I am a new
vice principal. What does
that mean? What can I
expect? The district also
wants me to sign the
letter and email back to
them. Do you recommend
signing the letter?
A – (Provided by AASD).
The March 15 reassignment
letters that went out
approximately March 10 are
standard business
practice. All vice
principals and all central
office certificated management
received the annual
notification. It is
coincidence that it went out
during the school closure
period. If you were in
jeopardy of being reassigned,
you would have been called to
a meeting with the Chief of HR
(with AASD representation
present) during the first week
of March. So, if you
received the letter via mail,
it is standard procedure and
there is no need to
worry. It’s your choice
whether or not to sign and
send the letter back. It
doesn’t make a difference
either way. The district
has proven they mailed the
letter. At this point,
if you were not called in to
HR the first week of March,
the odds are that the letter
is simply an annual formality
and you do not need to be
concerned.
Q -- I received an update
from my area
superintendent today
telling me basically do
not communicate with my
certificated staff for
fear that it could be
perceived as workload. I
feel very uncomfortable
feeling like I can't
check-in with my staff or
update them on district
resources in the event
parents contact them. I
started to send out
information on the SD Food
Bank since many students
are food insecure and I
deleted it feeling like
doing so would be against
directive. In a time of
crisis when we are
supposed to come together
it feels wrong to not
communicate with my school
family. Additionally, does
that mean I only send
updates to Classified? I'd
like to get more
clarity.
A -- Area Superintendents will
be emailing principals today
or tomorrow with more
information regarding working
from home and communications
with staff and community

E-mail from
Superintendent Marten:
All district employees
received an e-mail from
Superintendent Marten with
the following information
(taken from the
letter):
This afternoon, we were
informed by the San Diego
County Health and Human
Services Agency that a
person(s) connected with
several schools in the La
Jolla community tested
positive for the coronavirus
(COVID-19). The schools
impacted by this
announcement are Bird Rock
Elementary, La Jolla
Elementary and La Jolla High
School.
For anyone connected with
those three schools in
particular, there are extra
precautions they should take
based on this news.
Principally, they should
avoid social interactions
and report any symptoms to
their physician
