3/30/2020
-
AASD Office Closure:
AASD will be sending out
a Daily Update,

the school closure
period. The AASD
Office will
remain closed during
the period of time the
schools/district
are closed. AASD
staff will be working
remotely and can be reached
at the contact information
at the end of this
Update.
AASD has created a Google Form
for AASD Members to report
issues, questions or concerns
regarding work-related issues
and the COVID-19 virus.
Any issues, questions or
concerns submitted via the
Google form will be shared
daily with the District.
AASD will then share the

The link to share
issues/questions/concerns
is:

Please do not share this link
outside of AASD membership

management/supervisors).
The link will be active until
this crisis is over.
PLEASE CHECK THE DISTRICT’S
WEBSITE TO ENSURE YOUR
ISSUE/QUESTION/ CONCERN HAS
NOT ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED
THERE.

AASD Daily Updates and
Weekly Updates are located
on the AASD Website www.aasdcs.org if you need to refer back

Q and A (March 30,
2020) (Questions were submitted by
AASD members; the answers are
from the
District. AASD
publishes the answers as they
are received from the
District.)
Q -- We have been told that
classified supervisors
will be terminated or
unpaid because of the
Coronavirus shut down.
Does this mean that they
will not come back in
the fall or when school
starts?
A –
(Response from AASD)
Rest assured that all AASD
classified managers and
supervisors (as well as
certificated
management/principals/vice
principals) are in paid
status during the school
closures. There is no
information from district
leaders that any AASD member
would be in an unpaid
status. AASD is not
sure who told you this
information, but it is not
accurate. To discuss
further, please contact AASD
Executive Director, Donis
Coronel, at the contact
information below.
Q -- Am I required to be
available throughout the
day at any time or on
call during my regular
hours? If I am available
I have no problem
doing what I can. If I
do not hear anything or
get any communication
the day before I am
making plans and
commitments for the
following day to get
take care of things that
I need to do for myself
and family members.
A – (Response from AASD)
Generally speaking, all
employees that are in paid
status (all AASD members)
should be available to work
during their regularly
scheduled hours, as needed
by their supervisor.
If an employee who is in
paid status during the
closure is unable to work
due to family commitments,
they should take an
appropriate leave on dates
they are not available to
work. There is no
requirement for the District
to make a 24-hour
notification that the
employee is needed to work
remotely (or in person in
the case of food services,
custodial, etc.).
These are unusual times, but
when an employee is in paid
status they must be
available to work as
needed. To discuss
further, please contact AASD
Executive Director, Donis
Coronel, at the contact
information below.
Q -- Do you think the
district will consider a
stipend for principals
(or other AASD members)
to compensate for the
electricity that we will
be using, our personal
phone bills for making
calls, and other
expenses we would concur
working from home,
especially since they
will be saving monies as
sites are not using the
utilities?
A – (Response from AASD)
This is something that is
negotiable (impacts and
effects of remote
work/school closures) and
the AASD Executive Board is
discussing this in terms of
a “demand to bargain.”
No responses were received
from the District to
questions that have been
submitted. All
questions submitted have
been sent to the District
for response.
