Let’s Look at San Diego City School (AASD)

THE BENEFITS OF BEING AN AASD MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING!

AASD is an effective voice for promoting the day-to-day concerns of members such as wages, health and safety, workload, paid leaves, health care benefits, evaluation processes, hours of employment, fair and monitored hiring practices, how complaints are handled and much more!

AASD is your voice! 

AASD is the exclusive representative for the management team — unlike non-represented managers where the district can implement anything they deem necessary, the district must negotiate with AASD all subjects within the scope of bargaining.

AASD is affiliated with the American Federation of School Administrators (AFSA) AFL-CIO as Local 134. AFSA is a national voice for all school administrators, both certificated and classified.

AASD membership provides an opportunity to be part of a local and nationwide union that embodies professionalism and integrity.

AASD provides timely and expert representation in the event members find they are being recommended for disciplinary action, investigated, audited, reassigned, laid off, etc. Most of the time, our AASD member has done nothing wrong and is simply being targeted. It can happen to anyone!

AASD provides a member with access to our attorney at no cost to the member or at a shared cost.

AASD presents a united and representative voice on our members’ behalf to the Superintendent, Executive Leadership and the trustees on the Board of Education.

AASD will file a grievance on the behalf of a member and will pursue it to the arbitration level, if necessary, if the contract has been violated.

AASD provides quality professional development where members can grow as leaders.

AASD provides opportunities for the children of our members to receive scholarships for college/institutions of higher education.

AASD provides access to various insurance programs not offered by the school district, including disability, cancer, accident and additional life insurances.

AASD hosts fun social events throughout the year for our members.

AASD provides discounts for members for items such as movie tickets, See’s Candies, through the Benefit Hub website (theme park, restaurant and business discounts), and thousands of discounts through

AFSA AFL-CIO UnionPlus! AASD has proven that there is strength in numbers and in unity. Everyone benefits from union representation and should share fairly in the cost by being an AASD Member in Good Standing.
