- Q and A (Wednesday, April 14, 2021)
Q: There are over 90 sites that have been selected to host either onsite or online summer school or ESY. Administrators have been asked to complete a survey of interest by April 23. Considering that the dates of summer school fall during principals' contract days, it appears that there will not be additional pay. Here are my wonderings: 1) With so many sites available for summer school, what happens if the positions cannot be staffed? 2) Will there be "consequences" for the site administrators who have a program at their school and decline the offer to run summer school? 3) I worry that we will have a "leadership voice" telling us to take the position and there may be unforeseen consequences.
A: (Answer provided by AASD) Summer school/ESY falls within the principal work year. If a principal elects to be the summer school/ESY administrator, there is no extra pay provided. HR is managing the staffing of the summer school administrators. Staffing will be offered as outlined on the district interest form and will be offered to interested vice principals who are off calendar and would like to work (and be paid). If there is a shortage of interested vice principals, HR will then look at other alternatives. AASD does not anticipate any consequences for principals who decline the summer school/ESY assignment. Principals will have their plates full this summer planning for opening of school. Please contact AASD Executive Director, Donis Coronel, with any concerns.
Q: Parents are now changing their mind and wanting to go from on-line to in-person. I have no room in the classrooms. What to do?
A: (Answer provided by the district at Office Hours today) Do all you can to accommodate. Put in a request for a visiting teacher via SAMS to run a learning lab for overflow students. Contact your Area Superintendent to discuss options, if needed.

- HOTLINE FOR AASD MEMBERS – A VERY USEFUL TOOL
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.
