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.
Non-Represented Sr. Director Positions. While this project was on pause for some time, the parties will be returning to the table to discuss the current Sr. Director positions and AASD’s position that some of the positions belong in the AASD bargaining unit. AASD is waiting for Labor Relations to respond with a meeting date.
Screen Time (which is now called Learner Centered Technology). AASD has appointed Courtney Browne (Principal, Mt. Everest Academy) and Erika Simmons (Principal, Pacific View Leadership Elementary) to the district’s committee on this subject. Thank you, Courtney and Erika.
School Class Plan Committee. This new committee was bargained recently and held its second meeting on October 15. They discussed values and ideas for principal and AP pay. This committee will review how Principals and Associate Principals are compensated. Regarding the current School Classification Plan in our AASD contract — AASD filed a grievance on October 6 regarding the fact the School Classification Plan has not been implemented since 2022 or earlier. This is a violation of the contract. The grievance will be handled outside of the committee work.
AASD Representatives are Donis Coronel, Eric Brown, Gina Camacho-McGrath, Toni Curtis, Kristi Hunter-Clark, Jenney Nash, Robin Peters, Andrea Pino-Antl, and Barb Waller. The district team is Kristine Morshead, Jessica Falk-Michelli, Ami Shackelford, Michel Cazary, Stacy Allen, and Emily Valella. Tracey Makings is a resource for the district team.
Principal Evaluation Committee. This new committee was also recently bargained and met for the first time on October 13. This committee is tasked with creating a new evaluation process for principals that will then need to be bargained. AASD Representatives are John Bosselman, Lindsay Burningham, Jeremiah Ellard, Jennifer Grondek, Fred Hilgers, Jamey Jaramillo, Guillermo Medina, and Craig Thurman.
Certificated Workload Work Group. A survey went out from AASD to all certificated members in early October regarding current workload concerns. The committee will then review the concerns and meet with the District team in November or December. AASD representatives on this work group are Vince Anthony, Joe Boertmann, Lindsay Burningham, Fred Hilgers, Jamey Jaramillo, Jenney Nash, Kerri Rose, Michelle Spence, and Kim Zarkoski.
Classified Workload Work Group. A survey went out from AASD to all classified members in early October regarding current workload concerns. The committee will then review the concerns and meet with the District team in November or December. The meeting will be split into two portions, one for general concerns and one related to custodial concerns. AASD representatives on this work group are Robert Bonilla, Andrew Gilbert, Sara Guinn, Lisa Peoples, Yuka Sakamoto, Jeff Thomas for general matters; and Matt Fleming, Troy Hickey, Ruben Meave, Kenyon Patterson, and Israel Pena for workload matters related to custodial services.
Additional Pay for Summer School Prep Time for Summer Program Site Administrators. Thank you for your patience as we work with Labor Relations on a process for the payment. Many summer program site administrators already submitted timecards for up to 20 hours of prep time pay. We bargained an increase to 24 hours. Please wait for further instruction on how the additional information regarding prep time will be collected and paid. Information will be forthcoming.
