DAILY UPDATE #72 -- 7/01/2020
 

  • AASD OFFICE CLOSURE 
    AASD will be sending out a Daily Update, Monday-Friday, throughout the school closure period.  The Weekly Update will continue as usual on Thursdays with the typical news and information for AASD members.  The AASD Office will remain closed during the period of time the schools/district are closed.  AASD staff will be working remotely and can be reached at the contact information at the end of this Update.

    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.  You may also share your gratitude for another AASD member, district personnel, etc. via the same link.

    The link to share issues/questions/concerns/gratitude 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.

    NOTE:  All previous AASD Daily Updates and Weekly Updates are located on the AASD Website www.aasdcs.org if you need to refer back to them for information.

     
  • Q and A (Wednesday, July 1, 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 when we will be receiving our hazard pay?
    A – (Answer provided by AASD)  You should be receiving any hazard pay due to you (for physically reporting to work at a work site) monthly.  This is all contingent on the site timekeeper entering the hazard pay code on timekeeping.  If you have not received the hazard pay due to you, please check with your site timekeeper and/or payroll specialist.  If you are still having a problem getting the pay, contact AASD Executive Director, Donis Coronel, who can intervene on your behalf. 
     
    Just a reminder that the MOU between the District and AASD (COVID-10) expired on June 30, 2020, including the provision to pay hazard pay beyond June 30.  Bargaining begins tomorrow for impacts and effects of the school reopening plan.

     
  • SPECIAL GRATITUDE
    If an AASD member has a department or individual that deserves special recognition during this time of crisis, please use the link above for reporting issues/questions/ concerns/gratitude to show your gratitude for the department or individual.  AASD will publish that special thanks in our next Daily Update.


    AASD thanks Chief of Staff, Staci Monreal, for being available to AASD leadership when needed.  Since March, during this crisis, Staci has been open to input from our union and has made herself available for weekly check in meetings with the AASD Executive Director.  During these unprecedented times, AASD appreciates having the ability to share concerns, give input, talk through ideas and have weekly check ins.  Thank you for the hard work you are leading during these times, Staci. 
     
    As the District prepares for our custodial staffs to return to work on July 6, AASD would like to thank our AASD members – Building Services Supervisors III and Plant Operations Supervisors, in advance for their commitment to our sites and our students.  We know and understand that you all have quite a bit of work ahead of you to be able to open schools on August 31.  YOU ARE APPRECIATED!  AASD also thanks the Leadership Team at PPO who lead the custodial services work for their hard work in planning and implementing the custodial work that needs to be accomplished this summer.  You are all amazing!
