  • Q and A (Friday, September 25, 2020)
    Q:  Why does SPED (Sarah Ott) continue to communicate directly to parents without letting principals know in advance? Another letter was sent home this week regarding Phase One and I was caught off guard again.
    A:  (Answer provided by the District)  Sorry for the delayed communication to principals. The email was sent a day late in the principal update on 9/23/20. We will communicate to principals prior to family email in the future. 
    (Addition by AASD – AASD learned that the communication regarding Phase One was also sent to special education families of middle and high school students.  AASD shared this information with Chief of Staff Staci Monreal who will follow up on this concern as Phase One is only for elementary students.)
     
    Q:  Now that principals are back on contract days, what kind of work can be charged to the school reopening budget that has an extended date of October 15?  Can principal/VP evening or weekend work be charged to that account?  What about for teachers?  Can work outside of their contracted hours be charged?
    A:  (Answer provided by the District)  Yes, guidelines for the use of the funds are provided in the principal updates. Staff supporting the reopening effort can be paid for time outside their normal work hours. As a reminder, all time worked must be completed by October 15, 2020 and input by the timekeeper by October 16, 2020.
