Q
and A (March 26,
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
(Comment) --
Today (3/25)
Classified
Management
received a
personal
apology from
Superintendent
Marten that
an email
went out to
all
classified
staff
yesterday
and we
(Classified
Management)
were not
included on
it. That we
received
this email
today is a
signal, I
believe,
that AASD's
advocacy is
helping
increase
awareness of
the problem.
I
appreciated
her email.
But the
error itself
reflected
that our
communication
system needs
a good deal
of
improvement.
Can AASD
please
continue to
advocate
that better
systems of
communication
between
district and
Classified
Management
need to be
established?
Management
should be
receiving
district
communications
either prior
to - or at
minimum in
tandem with
- those
reporting to
us.
A –
(Answer from
AASD) AASD
continues to
advocate for our
members and for
improved
communication to ALL
members of the
management team,
classified and
certificated.
While our Principals
are leading very
important work and
the district must
communicate with
them, ALL AASD
represented
personnel must be
kept in the loop and
be part of the
communications so we
can all support one
another during this
difficult
time. AASD
continues to
advocate for
communication to ALL
members of the
management team in a
timely manner.
Q --
What role
should vice
principals
take at this
time. Should
we be on the
superintendent
calls?
A –
(Answer
from AASD)
AASD Executive
Director, Donis
Coronel, has been on
the Zoom calls that
are scheduled for
principals.
Many times there are
over 240 people on
the call. To
add Vice Principals
to the calls would
increase the numbers
on the call and add
to an already busy
call with hundreds
of chats and
questions
occurring. It
would likely become
unmanageable to
answer all the chats
and may lengthen the
time of the
call. It
is the role and job
of the Principal to
share all
information with the
vice principal(s) at
their site. If
your Principal is
not sharing
information with
you, AASD’s advice
is to have that
conversation with
the Principal and
explore how you can
work as a team
through this
difficult time.
Many AASD members
have voiced concerns
about
communication.
AASD is publishing
communications that
we believe would be
helpful and
interesting to ALL
members; classified
and
certificated.
We have heard from
our members who are
NOT principals that
they do not feel
they are receiving
adequate
communications from
the district or
their chain of
command. Those
concerns have been
and will continue to
be shared with the
district executive
leadership. At
this time, AASD will
continue to publish
communications we
feel are important
for ALL to
know. In
addition, there are
concerns from those
who are actually
receiving
communications
(mostly Principals)
that the timing of
the communications
needs to be improved
(i.e., public
receiving
information before
the Principal does,
etc.)

AASD
Executive
Board and
AASD
Staff
Your
AASD Executive Board

their first Zoom

regularly do, every

AASD Board of
Directors will also
meet after Spring
Break via Zoom

TBD). Our work
on the behalf of our
members continues

difficult
time.
