AASD IS WORKING FOR YOUR BENEFIT ON SOME IMPORTANT MATTERS! Here are a few of the things AASD is working on with the District. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available. AASD wants members to know we are working on these important issues.
Elimination of Vacant Classified AASD Positions. AASD has received a list of Vacant classified positions the district will be eliminating. Many are positions that the current incumbent is taking the SERP. AASD has demanded to bargain the impacts and effects of the elimination of positions particularly related to the issue of transfer of bargaining unit work. If a position is eliminated, AASD wants to know specifically where the work is being assigned or if the work is being eliminated. AASD will not allow AASD work to be assigned to another bargaining unit.
Remote work policy. On January 22, the District shared that they are working on a Remote Work Policy and plan to share it with AASD in late Spring. AASD followed up on April 4 and has been told that the policy is in final review by district leadership and should be shared with AASD very soon. As of May 15, nothing has been received.
Bargaining Furlough Days for 2025-26. AASD was surprised to hear from Principals who attended a virtual meeting on Budget recently that there was an announcement that there will be NO MANDATORY FURLOUGH DAYS for 2025-26. They were told, however, that there will be the option of taking VOLUNTARY furlough days. AASD is waiting for more information from Labor Relations who apologized for the premature announcement. AASD followed up on April 4 and was notified that we should receive a proposal soon. As of May 15, nothing has been received.
Non-Represented Positions. AASD is currently bargaining with the District on non-represented positions that AASD believes should be in the AASD bargaining unit. The parties have agreed on 10 positions that will be moved from non-represented to the AASD bargaining unit and those employees in the positions have been notified. The next bargaining session is scheduled for June 3 as there are approximately 15+ positions that the Parties are still discussing/negotiating moving from non-represented to AASD. Thank you to Donis Coronel, Jeff Thomas, Samantha Clabaugh, and Brian Kenworthy for serving on this bargaining team.
Full Contract Bargaining. The AASD collective bargaining agreements expire on June 30, 2025. AASD will be submitting our initial proposal for bargaining in the next 60 days.
