- Q and A (Friday, June 5, 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 -- I am at a year round site and will need to report to work to complete end of year procedures such as collection of instruments and site access day for staff. I have directed a few key staff members from CSEA units to support. When will we know if Hazard Pay will continue into July for year round sites?
A – (Answer provided by AASD) The CSEA and POA unions (as well as AASD) will need to work with the district to negotiate a continuation of the MOU to cover Year Round schools/staff. For AASD, those discussions are beginning soon. For the other unions, AASD does not know the strategy.

Schools Are Open to Reopening Under New Budget Proposal (VOSD, June 4)
https://www.voiceofsandiego.org/topics/education/the-learning-curve-schools-are-open-to-reopening-under-new-budget-proposal/
Facebook Post on June 5 from Board President John Lee Evans (on his personal Facebook page)
“It's time to talk about physically reopening our schools. Our students have been out too long. With testing/tracing and affordable safety measures we need to prepare for full fall reopening. Distance learning is inadequate and partial reopening could cause more problems than it solves. Kids need too be in school and parents need to be at work. The first day of school is just around the corner. It will not be easy, but it needs to happen.”
John Lee Evans, President, San Diego School Board
