- Q and A (Monday, April 27, 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: When parents are picking up devices and have needs once they get home the district has a hotline and website. Whomever is manning the phone line is telling parents to contact the teacher or the Principal for help or a new device! That's what the Family IT hotline is for. Can we please get those manning the hotline to attempt to handle the problem or at least take the parent's information and concern and get back to them with an answer. Principals and teachers do not have devices to hand out.
A – (Answer provided by the District) Thank you for your feedback. It has been shared with District Executive Leadership.
Q -- What is going to happen with employees if the schools remain closed in the Fall for 2020-2021 school year?
A – (Answer provided by AASD) There is no response at this time. AASD presumes that all of our members will remain employed, but honestly we do not have an answer. Certificated management is guaranteed employment for 2020-21 as per Ed Code they must be given a notice by March 15 of reassignment. Classified employees may be laid off at any time with a 60-day notice. There is so much unknown at this time about how education will be provided in the 2020-21 school year.
Clarification – AASD negotiated an MOU that provides for time and a half pay for ANY AASD member who is required to report to work for any time other than a quick trip to a site. This not only includes our supervisory police personnel who are working daily and our food services supervisory personnel who are working a regular schedule – but also any principal or vice principal required to be onsite for the teacher material pickup days.
- SPECIAL GRATITUDE
If an AASD member has a department or individual that deserves special recognition during this time of crisis, please use the link above for reporting issues/questions/concerns/gratitude to show your gratitude for the department or individual. AASD will publish that special thanks in our next Daily Update.
