The resolution addresses loudly and clearly yet another ACSA REGION 16 EVENTS
issue keeping administrators from sleeping at night. CSUN M.A. & CREDENTIAL PROGRAM
Take a moment to read the many up close and boots-on- IN MEMORIAM
the-ground observations of our members when asked to BASIS DATES
voice their opinions about the reduction to the School POSITIONS
Police Department budget. Their comments were heart
wrenching and overwhelmingly support keeping our School Police Department in place. Please click
HERE to see our members’ comments about this life and death dilemma.
LASPD has been an integral and necessary partner to best ensure campus safety and security on LAUSD
campuses. Moreover, if you know anything about the department’s demographics, many of the officers
are LAUSD graduates and from the same neighborhoods they are now deemed unfit to serve and
protect. In addition, the department is ethnically diverse and has a proven track record with recruitment.
On a similar note, the LASPD rank and file and its brass have been very open to dialogue and
acknowledging there is always room for growth when delivering human resources and services. That
can be said for many of us even when some are more open to listening, learning, and growing while
others, who are pursuing a political bent rather than improving teaching and learning, are not open at all.
The politics of demonizing law enforcement has regrettably set the stage for a preventable tragedy to
occur at one of the hundreds of LAUSD schools and/or offices. The District’s direction of hiring
individuals with minimal experience and gravitas to handle delicate and life-threatening situations seems
arbitrary, capricious, and reckless at best.
AALA is calling on all interested parties to return to the discussion table as the only pathway leading to
a win-win situation for all involved and takes the resolution one step further. Schools should
immediately have on their menu of options the ability to purchase a School Resource Officer or LASPD
Officer just like they are able to purchase an out-of-the classroom coordinator or assistant principal.
AALA is PROUD to be on the right side of history on this issue; and hopes no preventable tragedy will
EVER occur to save us from telling the District and the Board of Education, “WE TOLD YOU SO!”Associated Administrators of Los Angeles

HEALTHCARE FAQs
FACE MASKING GUIDANCE FOR LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND CALIFORNIA
Despite the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) relaxing masking guidelines as of May 18, 2021,
California has only 10 out of its 58 counties qualifying for the least restrictive tier, and 10 counties
remain in the red tier. California’s Department of Public Health (CDPH) ruled it will maintain masking,
social distancing, and capacity requirements (by tier) through June 15, 2021. Although Los Angeles
County is in the least restrictive yellow tier, it will follow state, not CDC guidelines. Currently,

ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER (AAPI) HERITAGE MONTH
By Maria A. Chua, LCSW, Student Health and Human Services
May is formally designated as Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. While the
acknowledgement of Asian Americans and our contributions has always been important, the
unprecedented escalation of anti-Asian hate over the past year makes the observance of AAPI Heritage
4Associated Administrators of Los Angeles
AAPI HERITAGE MONTH (Cont.)
Month more significant now than ever. President Biden recently stated, “In the midst of a difficult year
of pain and fear, we reflect on the tradition of leadership, resilience, and courage shown by [Asian
American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander] communities, and recommit to the struggle for
AANHPI equity.”
AAPI communities are experiencing an alarming increase in pandemic-fueled racist rhetoric, violence
and hate. According to a report by the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State
University, San Bernardino, hate crimes against Asian Americans in major U.S. cities grew nearly 150
percent in 2020… and the numbers continue to surge. The first quarter of 2021 saw a 169 percent
increase in anti-Asian hate crimes over this period last year, mostly targeting women and the elderly.
One of the most traumatic events took place in March of this year, when a gunman fatally shot eight
people, including six Asian women, in a series of killings in the Atlanta area.
Anti-AAPI discrimination did not begin with the pandemic. There is a long history of discrimination and
injustice faced by Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, including the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882,
the incarceration of Japanese American citizens during World War II, the1989 mass shooting of
Southeast Asian refugee children, and the targeting of South Asian Americans, especially those who are
Muslim, Hindu, or Sikh, after 9/11.
My challenge to all District staff is to educate ourselves on AAPI history and culture, celebrate their
contributions to America, and challenge anti-AAPI bias on all fronts. The Office of Human Relations,
Diversity and Equity has curated extensive resources for our school communities to engage in dialogue
about what everyone can do to help end Anti-Asian racism and discrimination. Please visit their site as
well as the following ones for more information.

DO NOT KEEP THESE THINGS IN YOUR WALLET OR PURSE
If you tend to keep items that contain personal and/or financial information in your wallet, be aware that
if lost or stolen, the contents can be used by identity thieves. Several financial sources online have
identified some things that should never be kept in your wallet or purse. Consumers are also advised to
make a photocopy of the contents of wallets and keep it in a secure place. Do not keep the following in
your wallet or purse:
Social Security Card: Losing it is a ticket to identity theft and make sure nothing else in your
wallet has your SSN on it. Don’t carry your Medicare card if it is the old one that includes your
SSN.
Password Cheat Sheet: Keep this locked up at home. One of the worst places for a password
cheat sheet with your ATM card's PIN is in your wallet.
5Associated Administrators of Los Angeles
DO NOT KEEP (Cont.)
COVID-19 Vaccine Card: Because it has your birthdate on it, experts recommend that you do
not carry it with you. Take a photo of it on your phone in case you misplace it and then make
sure to keep it in a safe place with other important documents.
Spare Keys: You don’t want someone to find your wallet with your driver’s license and address
on it and then have the keys to access your home.
Blank Checks: Only carry the number you think you may need each day. Leave the checkbook
at home. In the wrong hands, a blank check could be used to quickly drain money from your
bank account. Even if the stolen check isn't used, it has your bank account and routing numbers
on it, a target for electronic withdrawals from your account.
Passport: If in the wrong hands, it could be used to travel in your name, get a new copy of your
Social Security card, or open bank accounts. When traveling abroad, experts advise, carry a
photocopy of your passport and leave the original in a hotel safe.
Multiple Credit Cards: Carry one rewards card for everyday purchases as well as a backup card
for unplanned purchases or emergencies. Keep a list at home with all your credit card numbers
and the telephone numbers to call if the cards are lost.
Birth Certificate: If thieves have it in conjunction with other types of fraudulent IDs, security
experts say they can do some major damage to your finances.
Receipts: While businesses only print the last five digits of your credit card number on receipts,
ID-theft experts say skilled thieves could use those last five digits and merchant information on
receipts to phish for the remaining numbers on your credit card. Remove those receipts from
your wallet daily and shred them.
