- NEW ITEMS
- Q and A (Wednesday, November 4, 2020)
Q: Can a BSS III work partially from home (remote) until January?
A: (Answer provided by AASD) AASD’s understanding is that custodial employees are to work onsite.
Q: I am a principal and am not happy about receiving less than 24 hours notice of a meeting on 11/4/20 regarding Phase One. That seems like a lack of respect for my calendar and my time.
A: (Answer provided by AASD) Several principals contacted AASD regarding the short notice provided for this meeting. AASD spoke with Chief of Staff, Staci Monreal, who confirmed that the meeting is OPTIONAL and said she understood the concerns about short notice. The purpose of the meeting is for some principals to share their experiences and strategies around Phase One. The meeting was not mandatory.
