  • Q and A (Monday, June 22, 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 -- Are year round principals or vice principals getting hazard pay for going into school on July 9th and the additional day? Is that negotiable?
    A -- (Answer provided by AASD)  At this time, the COVID-19 MOU expires on June 30 as does the hazard pay.  AASD has asked the district for an extension of the MOU to cover year round staff.  The district has not agreed to an extension at this time.  We will continue to keep you posted.
     
    Many questions or submissions were submitted between the board decision on the plan for reopening schools (Tuesday) and the Thursday Zoom meeting for principals.  These were all shared with the district however responses have not been received as most of the submitted questions were addressed during the Thursday principal zoom meeting.

  • FROM THE ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS (ACSA) – SUMMER LEARNING PROGRAMS
     
    In March 2020, the COVID-19 crisis shut down nearly every school in California, with no clear date for when schools would reopen. Governor Newsom and state leaders have begun to lay out a plan for reopening schools and youth serving programs. Heading into the summer, one critical issue on the minds of educators, parents, students and community leaders is access to summer learning programs.
     
    This brief prepared by the Partnership for Children & Youth in partnership with ACSA lists considerations for summer program planning, including examples of in-person, hybrid and community summer learning, as well as support organizations and resources for districts.
     
    Given that schools and learning will look and feel different in the fall (as it does typically in summer programming), many of the strategies, considerations and scenarios below can also be applied to the reopening planning process.
     
    ACSA thanks Partnership for Children & Youth for their diligent work in developing this brief for California educators.
    Read the brief
