AALA/TEAMSTERS LOCAL 20102APRIL 14, 2025UPSIDE DOWN PRIORITIES: KIDS FIRST, PHOTO OPS LAST (OR MAYBE NEVER)!No matter our working conditions, each and every one of you always does what is right! Join me in celebrating the professional courage and leadership of the Russell and Lillian St. Elementary School PRINCIPALS. Both principals took outstanding and commendable actions when Homeland Security agents invaded the schools to do “wellness checks” on students. The principals acted swiftly by following District policy and denying access to the agents. This commitment is ever present and must be continuously uplifted and celebrated. I want to thank them and their staffs for having faced this challenge with the necessary determination to keep their communities together and safe. I wonder if either of these administrators had to work late to address all the required follow-up. I encourage them and you to request Extra Duty Pay (EDP). If this is not an exigent circumstance, what is? Yesterday, we also held our ﬁnal Representative Assembly for 2025. Thank you for joining us at Whiskey Red’s to celebrate collegiality and break bread together. As our members heard last night, our priority remains ﬁghting for tenable working conditions. We are ﬁghting for EDP, Flexible time, Due Process, Grievances and Salary/Health Beneﬁts. We are steadfast in our commitment as we continue our CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) journey. And while we ﬁght for fair working conditions, the District seems intent on publicly touting vague merits combined with lackluster transparency.For example, Expanded Learning Opportunities Programs (ELOP) started with an $832 million allocation. $312 million have been spent as reported at the Board of Education meeting on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. The remaining balance of $520 million is expected to be spent as scheduled. There will be no money left over by the end of next year. Yet board members continue requesting data reﬂecting ELOP’s efﬁcacy. We want to believe much good has come from providing these opportunities to the students we serve. There are over 70 programs operating under ELOP. How can there be no transparent data measuring the effectiveness or lack thereof with this tremendous investment? Beaudry leadership gallantly presenting generalized positiveness is not data. The lack of data coupled with effusive adjectives do not show measurable outcomes.The approach is formulaic-“Go before the board. Make it sound good. If asked for data or any sort of tangible proof it’s working, tell them you will get back to them with an informative.” Time after time, we listen to the same response. This is not an attack on the efforts of anyone’s labor. However, where is the accolade for school site leaders having to monitor ELOPs implementation? Where is the heartfelt support of joy and wellness for the hardworking administrators made to labor additional hours to “make it work” without their input? 12345EDPFlexible timeDue ProcessDistrict Priorities?Photo OpsTransparency Generalized PositivenessSocial MediaKIDS FIRST! – PAGE 3

NEWSLETTER3APRIL 14, 2025Money may be set aside to support administrators. However, when compensation time comes, there are a myriad of road blocks discouraging Extra Duty Pay (EDP). Interestingly enough, each region has its own approach for approving EDP. If anything, the District needs to publicly acknowledge it is ﬂeecing our members and growing its general fund coffers with funds our members have genuinely earned. More than 50% of last week’s survey participants indicated they do not request EDP for ELOP. Perhaps EXPANDED and EXTRA are not synonyms in the district’s books. It is in ours! Pay administrators for the EXPANDED time they invest to make learning opportunities happen for our kiddos! As an aside, why do our members have to ﬁght and pretty much capitulate to the blatant “NO’s” for EDP requests? The superintendent has no issue paying private event planners to the tune of $250K for one-day festivals used for social media moments more than anything else. How many of you have paid a planner $250k for a school event? If you think $250k is bad, the streets are saying last year’s Arts Festival may have cost more than a $1,000,000 dollars to produce the ONE DAY photo op extravaganza. How is this fair and equitable to our members when all we hear at board meetings is how we must make cuts in order to remain ﬁscally balanced?We challenge the superintendent to organize these one-day photo ops himself along with his senior cabinet and redirect the $250k to schools and ofﬁces. And of course, compensate our members fairly for all of the work they are doing above and beyond on behalf of the students we serve.PRESIDENT NICHOLS SPEAKS TRUTH TO POWER & SCHOOLS THE BOARD ON PROFESSIONALISMWhy are schools being asked to make last minute expenditures and write yet more plans?Why do teachers receive X-time yet administrators are denied EDP?Watch President Nichols’ comments to the Superintendent and LAUSD school board on April 8.TIME TO DISCONNECT, RELAX, RECHARGE!THE AALA NEWSLETTER WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 21, 2025 & WILL RESUME ON APRIL 28TH.KIDS FIRST!FROM PAGE 2Missed the Representative Assembly?

AALA/TEAMSTERS LOCAL 201010APRIL 14, 2025HEALTHCARE FAQS8 THINGS TO CLEAN—OR TOSS— AFTER BEING SICKGetting sick affects more than your body and mind. It affects your living space, too, and all the things you touch. The cold virus can live on hard surfaces for 24 hours, ﬂu for 24 to 48 hours, and COVID-19 can stick around between a few hours to a few days, according to the Cleveland Clinic. This is bad news for older adults, who are more prone to complications from these common respiratory bugs, and especially those with underlying health conditions, “such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immune disorders or diabetes," says Gonzalo Bearman, M.D. chief of the Division of Infectious Disease for VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia.The house is a germy place on a good day, but even more so when someone is sick. Here’s what you can do to reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses the next time you’re getting over an illness.1. Clean the bathroomThe stomach bug, or norovirus, can cause vomiting and diarrhea and is highly contagious. Plus, an infected individual can spread the virus for two or more weeks after feeling better, which is all the more reason to stay on top of cleaning after the illness.Let’s not forget plenty of people experience gastrointestinal issues with other infections, too. Research suggests that around half of people with COVID-19 experience symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea.To get rid of lingering germs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using a bleach solution (5 tablespoons of household bleach per gallon of room temperature water) to disinfect surfaces. “We know that this is effective against a huge range of bacteria and viruses,” says Alexandra Seguin, an infection preventionist at Rush University in Chicago.Also, if you’ve been blowing your nose a bunch, make sure your trash can is lined and take that outside each day.2. Replace your toothbrushYou’re not likely to reinfect yourself after recovering from an illness — strep throat is one notable exception — but it’s still a good idea to replace your toothbrush once you’re feeling better to reduce the likelihood that any bacteria stick around. (And with strep, replace your toothbrush after you ﬁnish your antibiotics, the Cleveland Clinic says). To keep people who share a bathroom from getting each other sick, you might give everyone their own toothpaste.3. Wipe down the kitchenAny shared surfaces need a good cleaning with soapy water and a disinfectant. “High-touch surfaces such as kitchen counters and doorknobs may be wiped down with bleach wipes,” Bearman says.CLEAN OR TOSS – PAGE 11

NEWSLETTER11APRIL 14, 2025This article was written by Lauren Evoy Davis and published by AARP.Are dishes and mugs of herbal tea piling up? Wash everything with hot, soapy water to clean them. While you’re at it, toss the dish sponge, which can harbor a host of germs.If you don’t have any replacements on hand, you can clean your sponge by microwaving it. Even still, some bacteria can stick around, according to a 2022 article published in the journal Microorganisms, so your safest bet is to throw it away and use a paper towel or disposable wipe until you get a new sponge, Seguin says.4. Throw in the towel (and sheets)It’s not only nice to have fresh sheets on the bed and clean towels in the bathroom, but it can also cut down on germs and help the bedroom smell fresher. The CDC says you can safely wash your laundry with the laundry of another person in the house who isn’t sick — just be sure to wash your hands after handling the soiled items.To get the best results, wash your linens in warm or hot water and be sure to use the dryer, which is “the most effective thing for killing germs,” Bearman says.5. Wash your clothesAny clothes you wore while you were sick should also be washed, and research suggests that higher-temperature settings and longer drying times can signiﬁcantly reduce the number of germs on clothing.The CDC recommends cleaning your clothes hamper or laundry basket, too.6. Wipe down electronicsGerms can linger in buttons and crevices and on the screens of your devices. Give these items a wipe down that each manufacturer recommends. Many devices can be cleaned using an antibacterial or alcohol wipe.• Tablet• TV remote• Cell phone• Computer keyboard• Video game controller7. Clean the airOpen the windows to let fresh air into your home; this can help dilute any lingering viral particles, the CDC says.Also, ask yourself when you last changed the air ﬁlters in your home. These ﬁlters can trap and remove many airborne contaminants, including fragments that contain microscopic viruses, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The American Lung Association recommends that you change air ﬁlters every two months.8. Wash your handsThe key to staying healthy is good hand hygiene, Seguin says. “You can wash your house and wash your items and disinfect, but your hands are usually what’s going to spread things from one place to another,” she says.The CDC recommends washing your hands with soap and water to remove germs from your hands, and scientiﬁc studies recommend you scrub for at least 20 seconds. On the go? The CDC says alcohol-based hand sanitizers — use one that’s at least 60 percent alcohol — can reduce the number of microbes on your hands, “but sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs.”CLEAN OR TOSS FROM PAGE 10
