-
AASD
Office
Closure:
March 16 through
April 3,
2020
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

Q
and A (March 24,
2020) (Questions
were submitted by AASD
members; the answers are
from the
District. AASD
publishes the answers as
they are received from
the
District.)
Q
– Do
you know if
they are
considering
allowing
parents to
check out
chrome books
to students?
I am
receiving
messages
from parents
wanting to
do some of
the digital
learning but
not being
able to
access
it.
A –
The IT team and
executive leadership
are looking at this
issue and creating a
plan to distribute
devices to students
to access digital
learning at home.
More to come in the
near future.
Q – I
continue to
see
questions in
our AASD
newsletter
that
indicate a
need for
increased
&
improved
communication
from the
District to
AASD members
(including,
but not
limited to,
Classified
Administrators,
Central
Office
Program
Managers
&
Principals.)
Is this
something
that AASD
can help to
further
advocate for
better
communication
channels? In
this
uncertain
and
unprecedented
time,
communication
is critical.
It is
challenging
for us to
effectively
lead when
information
is often
reaching us
at the same
time as
those
reporting to
us, or not
at
all. Appreciate
any advocacy
that can be
done to
improve this
system.
A –
(Answer
provided by
AASD) AASD
continues to remain
in close contact
with District
officials and has
shared in various
venues with high
level district
leaders that there
are improvements to
be made in the area
of communicating
with ALL
supervisors,
managers,
principals,
certificated
management and vice
principals.
AASD will continue
to advocate for
this.
Q – Are
AASD members
guaranteed
pay for as
long as this
crisis
continues?
A –
As reported in
previous daily
updates, AASD
represented
employees will
remain in paid
status.
Many
questions/concerns/issues
were submitted
regarding the idea
of staff returning
to work to pick up
materials/supplies.
The District is
working on a
response to the
concerns and a
process which is
going out today.
AASD is also in
direct
communications with
Mr. Rowlands and Mr.
Petill regarding
concerns about the
Food Distribution
program.
Procedures are being
put into place and
changes are
occurring that
should address many
of the concerns
being shared with
AASD by our
members. Thank
you to the Food
Services Team for
their dedication and
hard work during
these difficult
times.

no professional
