DAILY UPDATE #141 -- 10/13/2020
- NEW ITEMS
- Q and A (Tuesday, October 13, 2020)
Q: A parent wanted to speak with a representative from Quality Assurance. I reviewed the district website and determined Quality Assurance is not listed as a department. I was unable to find any reference to "complaints," "concerns," or any other link which a parent may look for. I did some additional searching and found a page where a parent could submit an electronic request. There was no phone number. I'm not sure if I'm mistaken or if Q/A no longer has a phone number. Can you help me find the webpage/phone number I am supposed to direct parents to when they want to contact the office?
A: (Answer provided by the district) The Quality Assurance Office can be reached at 619-725-7211 or via email at qualityassurance@sandi.net. Here is the link which can be found on the main website under departments/Quality Assurance Office https://www.sandiegounified.org/academics/quality_assurance_office. You may submit an electronic concern or issue by using this link https://www.sandiegounified.org/academics/quality_assurance_office/quality_assurance_office_-_contact_form
Q: A parent recently contacting me requesting general information regarding the reopening of school. I provided a general overview of the work taking place and then attempted to point her to the SDUSD School Closure page on the district website. At this point, I noticed it was missing. A quick search of the rotating items on the front page as well as the various drop-down menus (including the A-Z index) revealed there appears to be no reference to school closure or work taking place to re-open school on the district website at all. Is this true? If so, where should I direct parents with questions?
A: (Answer provided by the district) The Communications Department is currently working on updating the district website to coincide with the start of Phase One. New materials should be up this week (10/13/20) for parents and the community.
Note: AASD received a number of concerns from elementary principals regarding workload. All concerns have been shared with the district executive team.
