UPDATE Week of May 19, 2008 A s s o c i a t e d A d m i n i s t r a t o r s o f L o s A n g e l e s UPDATE Week of May 19, 2008 THE BEAUDRY ARK According to the Old Testament, Noah saved life on earth by building an ark and harboring pairs of all living things thereby saving them from the forty-day flood. It appears as though the powers that be in LAUSD are building their own Beaudry Ark to harbor pairs of senior staff in order to save the District from the flood of problems that continue to beset the District. It appears that the Superintendent’s solution is to hire two people for every job. We currently have for all intents and purposes two Superintendents, David L. Brewer III and Ray Cortines along with the following pairs: • Two Chiefs of Staff • Two Public Relations Officers • Two Chief Executive Officers, Instruction/Special Education • Two Secondary Assistant Superintendents • And, of course, the ever popular Divisions of Innovation and Accountability that duplicate what Local District offices should be doing. In addition to the twosomes listed above and numerous subordinates, the Beaudry Ark also contains many consultants who duplicate services rendered by senior staff. AALA hopes that the flood ends soon. In this time of a budget crisis or at any time for that matter, Beaudry is not needed as an ark to preserve all living things. In fact, it might be much better if some positions did become extinct. Just think what life would be like on earth if Noah had not allowed certain marginally useful creatures such as mosquitoes to enter the ark. Likewise, LAUSD might be a far better place if some pairs of senior staff were not hired in the first place. As much as AALA likes to point out District foibles, the pairs of senior staff and proliferation of consultants do create additional problems for this troubled District. In a time of budget crisis, it is very poor public relations to be spending millions of dollars on duplicative and often times inefficient services. How can we in good conscience approach the general public to fund our schools when money is spent at Beaudry as if it were plentiful? Additionally, the duplication 1 A s s o c i a t e d A d m i n i s t r a t o r s o f L o s A n g e l e s of services creates a horrendous line staff communication problem. Administrators in our schools need to know who they can turn to for support in a consistent manner. The more senior staff, the more confusion in our schools. More is not always better. In fact, the duplication just muddies the water of line staff communications. Who is really in charge and what do they do? For example, who is really guiding the rudderless leadership of the Innovation Division? Unfortunately, like in the movie "Field of Dreams," the District built the Beaudry Ark and senior staff keeps arriving. Let’s hope that one of the Superintendents will park the Ark and release unnecessary pairs, thereby keeping only the few who are critical to run the District. Note: In the spirit of full disclosure, AALA has two Jacks and two Dans on staff; however, they are all productive workers as AALA operates in the fiscal black. RETIREMENT CELEBRATIONS Name Date/Time Location Contact Patricia Minnitti Saturday, June 21, 2008 22nd Street Landing Bette Medina 12:00 – 2:30 p.m. 141 West 22nd Street [email protected] San Pedro Kathy Snelgrove [email protected] Tanya Macapinlac Grace Saturday, June 21, 2008 Olympic Collection Akida Long 7:00 p.m. 11301 Olympic Blvd 310.326.5075 Los Angeles 323.296.8043 THERE IS A NEED FOR INCREASED EMPHASIS ON "MIDDLE" SKILLS Recently, the Council on Competitiveness urged an increased emphasis on "middle" skills (those inherent to jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree but do require training beyond high school). The thrust of the need is a workforce that is enabled to better interact with customers, reports Mark Schoeff for Workforce Management. While it is evident that the United States needs to produce more scientists and engineers, quality alone is insufficient. For instance, technology workers need to have stronger interdisciplinary and entrepreneurial skills. http://www.workforce.com/section/00/article/25/51/29.html 2 A s s o c i a t e d A d m i n i s t r a t o r s o f L o s A n g e l e s REPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLY-Report For May 15, 2008 The fourth and final Representative Assembly meeting for the 2007-2008 school year was held on May 15, 2008. Members greatly appreciated hearing the comments of State Senator Tom Torlakson, especially his thoughts regarding the State budget crisis. The AALA election results were reported as follows: Adult Department Vice President – Fred Hermosillo; Elementary Department Director – Judith Perez; Secondary Department Director – Mark Simmons; and Supervisory Department Vice President – Lynn Williams. Each will be serving a three-year term. It was also reported that for the third time, the California Court of Appeals upheld the AALA position regarding the status of Directors as bargaining unit members. We assume that three strikes means you are out, and we hope that the District doesn’t feel the need to prolong its string of defeats all the way to the World Court at The Hague. Proposed AALA Calendar of Events for the 2008-2009 school year was distributed. It was noted that AALA President Mike O’Sullivan is being honored by the City Terrace Coordinating Council with their Heroes in Education award. The award will be presented on May 20 at the Council’s annual dinner. Representatives submitted no notice motions. Department Concerns included: Elementary Department – Why are we spending millions of dollars to develop a school accountability report card when no need apparently exists? Response – AALA has been critical of the need for an Accountability Office. We believe that schools have accountability in the form of WASC accreditation and other forms of accountability including the current School Accountability Report Card. Who determines what expenditures may come from individual school site budgets? Response – Budget Division staff consistent with Federal, State, and District regulations. Supervisory Department – Question regarding bumping rights. Response – Seniority and bumping rights were reviewed. LAUSD Human Resources staff may be contacted regarding any specific questions at 213-241-6131. How are position titles established for central office positions? Response – Position title is named or approved by the Superintendent and processed through Human Resources Branch. Secondary Department – Request that the District develop a sexual abuse/child abuse bulletin with a checklist similar to the Sexual Harassment Bulletin, and also develop professional development training and material to address cases deferred by local police agencies. AALA thanks the following members for serving on the Representative Assembly and attending this meeting: Adult Department – Fred Hermosillo, Howard Saxe, Martha Peralta, Juan Urdiales and Bob Cochran; Elementary Department – Angel Barrett, Judith Perez, Joan Blair, Sharon Kaiser, Dona Lawrie, Judy Dichter, Farryl Weitzman and Emily Dixon-Hull; Secondary Department – Margaret Prietto, Mark Simmons, Ann Allocca, Scott Schmerelson, Mike Smith, Stephen Foster, Viola Moten, Pamela Donesley, Tom Jones, Willie Richardson, Randy Delling, Brenda Morton, Bob Weinberg, Salvador Velasco, Raul Aguilar, Regina Awtry, Angela Cleveland, Ken Easum, Cecil McLinn, Alex Placencio, Dan Ellis, Alicia Moran, Chibuzo Walton and Fay Chu; Supervisory Department – Lynn Williams, Madeline Latham-Wilson, Manuel Caldera, Nader Delnavaz, Zepore Kivork, Robert Meier and Martin Myers; Early Education Center Administrators – Karen Bowles and Maylin Ramirez; ACSA – Bob Kladifko and Jack Moscowitz; COBA – J. Maxie Hemmans and Edna Burems. AALA Staff present: President – Mike O’Sullivan; Staff – Dan Isaacs, Dan Basalone, Jack Silas, David Tokofsky, Lorraine Bush, Gema Pivaral Cathy Vacca and Steve Weingarten. Meeting was adjourned at 7:45 PM. First Representative Assembly Meeting for the 2008-2009 school year is scheduled for October 16, 2008. 3 A s s o c i a t e d A d m i n i s t r a t o r s o f L o s A n g e l e s EDUCATIONAL OPTIONS MONTH - MAY 2008 We are pleased to inform you that the incoming Speaker Pro Tempore of the Senate Darrell Steinberg is the author of SCR 107, which declares and recognizes May 2008 as Educational Options Month.

The Department cunently has 36 formal agreements with LAUSD through Joint Use Agreements (JUA) and License Agreements. An additional 199 school or park sites have a shared use relationship through a permit or an informal reciprocal agreement. Use fees have historically not been collected from or paid to LAUSD under these arrangements_ However, recent discussions with LAUSD have indicated that this may change in the future, as LA USD is considering a policy change that would impose use fees on the Department for use of non­ JUA related school sites. , Besides LAUSD schools, the Depmtment also has working relationships with private schools and independent · chmter schools not under LAUSD.

    UPDATE www.aala.us Week of July 16, 2018 ALTERNATIVE FACTS IN THIS ISSUE ALTERNATIVE FACTS Sadly, national politics seem to be playing out in our own SUCCESS REQUIRES EXECUTIVE backyard. Proof positive is a recently released report from FUNCTIONS the L.A. Unified Task Force (formerly headed by now FAQ – LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE Superintendent Austin Beutner) entitled Hard Choices HEATWAVE (click HERE). The report squarely places the blame for the CONGRATULATIONS – CESAR District’s lack of achievement and finances at the feet of CHAVEZ SOCIAL JUSTICE ACADEMY classroom teachers and frontline managers. The irony of CRITICAL LIFE EVENTS SUPPORT FRIENDS OF AALA the report is the apparent absolution of District-represented IN MEMORIAM senior leadership and the Board of Education, both past and CALENDAR present. Yet, it is they who make policy and propagate LMU ED.D. PROGRAM resolution after resolution, ultimately burdening teachers POSITIONS and administrators with bulletins, memoranda, and reference guides by the thousands. So it is important to highlight and bring front and center the fact that teachers and frontline managers are left with the onerous task of implementing said policies and resolutions. The rank and file in schools, local districts, and central offices can articulate what’s working, what’s not, the barriers, values, beliefs, and assumptions underlying most every initiative and strategic plan, as well as each reimagination, reiteration, and regurgitation of the organizational structure, leading to a “this too shall pass” mentality. This problem will continue lingering until a culture of trust is cultivated and valued. In the meantime, the path of least resistance to best meet the needs of students is for the rank and file to continue planning and collaborating in parking lots across the city instead of voicing legitimate concerns to leadership, for fear of retaliation and intimidation.
