    The hotline AASD negotiated with the District is available to all AASD unit members (classified and certificated) who are charged with enforcing the health and safety policies and procedures at the school site.  Call the hotline when you need immediate assistance when conflicts arise, clarification is needed, or decisions must be made regarding health and safety matters.  Once we have staff and students back on campus, issues may arise where site AASD members don’t have direction or an answer.  Call the hotline for help!  Put the hotline number in your cell phone so you have it when needed.

    This hotline is for ALL AASD represented members, both classified and certificated.  The hotline phone number is     (619) 981-0760.  The hotline is available on all District workdays, Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  In the rare event that a message must be left, all calls will be returned promptly, within the same day.  The hotline is answered by our AASD member, Brian Kenworthy, Operations Specialist who has access to materials and district leadership as necessary.

  • The following REVISED communication was sent to BSS’ and POS’ today:
     Subject: Custodial Update! (air purifier servicing) REVISED
     
    Greetings,
     
    Next week some time you should be receiving additional replacement filters for your air purifiers via distribution. Please store these additional filters in a safe and secure indoor location. Your air purifiers require regular maintenance to help ensure that they are operating adequately and efficiently.  Each unit you received included four carbon filters and one HEPA filter. The pre-filters should be checked on a regular basis for cleanliness. Once a month they should be removed and washed with warm water only; air dried and reinstalled. The carbon filters are to be replaced every three months. The HEPA filter is to be replaced once a year. To keep track of when these cleanings and replacements were completed, please place a posted note on the unit identifying the appropriate service and the date performed (strongly advised).
     
    I have once again included the instructional video along with a     spreadsheet for recording the servicing of these units. The spreadsheet can be used electronically or printed out for manual use. Please watch and share the video and spreadsheet with your administrator and custodial staff. It is a requirement that all staff be trained on proper servicing procedures and guidelines. Make it a priority to service all units this month and every following month in preparation for students and staff returning. Please see pictures and video link below.  (NOTE from AASD:  Unfortunately, we are unable to include the pictures that are mentioned here.)
     
    Custodial Services is once again working together to provide safe, sanitized and secure campuses for everyone. Thank you for leading the efforts in providing quality customer service. You are appreciated!
     
  • Pre-Filter – Check Weekly, Wash Monthly
  • Carbon Filter – Replaced every 90 days
  • HEPA Filter – Replaced annually
