- Q and A (Monday, May 18, 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 – If I am a certificated AASD member (Principal, Vice Principal, Central Office Certificated) and I physically report to work (teacher material pickup, student medication pick up, graduation drive by, etc.) I know I will receive the COVID-19 hazard pay (time and a half) which my timekeeper will enter in timekeeping. Do I also have to complete a certificated timecard for my supervisor?
A – (Answer provided to AASD by Payroll Director) A timecard is not required by Payroll however may be required by the supervisor. It is at the discretion of the supervisor. So if your supervisor is requiring a timecard in addition to timekeeping being coded, you must provide the timecard. If your supervisor is not requiring the timecard, then you don’t need to complete one.
- DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS
The following information was sent from PPO/Custodial Operations to all custodial staff and shared with principals:
As we continue moving forward in accomplishing the daily challenges of embracing and adjusting to challenges brought on by our current local, statewide, national and global situations related to the pandemic, it is important to remember that many are relying on our dedication and persistence in performing the custodial responsibilities that are considered essential services as first responders. Hoping for a return to some form of normalcy is a common goal, while realizing the eventual return will require a new normalcy which involves creative thinking and new expectations and procedures in regard to how we provide custodial services for our students, staff and community. Please understand that your positive approach and persistence is much appreciated and encouraging! The following is an update on some of the most common questions regarding Custodial Services:
What is the projected return date for all custodial staff? There has been speculation on a possible return sometime in July, but this is only speculation and the return could be sooner or later. I do believe that we are getting closer to an actual confirmed date. Updates regarding a return date will be provided as we receive them.
Is it possible to have weekly site visits to assess individual site conditions? At this time we are asking everyone to access your individual sites during monthly site visits, and any authorized site visits for the support of distance learning, laptop distribution/exchange, food services support, emergency situations, etc.
Am I able to place custodial supply orders? DO NOT place any custodial orders at this time. If you are in need of essential supplies, reach out to your area CSS. Also, any remaining funds left in your site custodial supply budget will be used for supplying summer cleaning essentials to all sites prior to the ordering deadline in anticipation of a return date. CSS’ are actively placing summer custodial supply orders which will be delivered to individual sites. The supplies ordered will take under consideration the possibility of a modified expectation in regard to summer cleaning and will provide start-up supplies needed for the required tasks. More details of the summer cleaning expectations will follow once we have determined an exact return date for custodial staff.
When will my next monthly site visit be to support distance learning? Monthly site visit dates are coordinated by site administrators. We ask that you communicate with our office as you receive information regarding upcoming monthly site visits. This will allow us to anticipate any support that you may need and also help with the verification of requested compensation. As a reminder, monthly site visits are the time when custodial staff are not only supporting the sanitation process and distance learning, but also using the time to walk through all buildings to assess maintenance concerns and following up with a work order and/or communication. It is also important that during any site visit that you contact school police before and after deactivating/activating main alarms. School police will need to verify that you are authorized to be in the facility, otherwise an officer may visit your site.
Thank you once again for all your effort and support!
Respectively,
Ron Dare
Custodial Operations Program Supervisor
