WHY I BELONG TO ATA

2023-24 CALENDAR
Below you will find the results of our recent calendar vote. Please remember that all AUSD employee groups provide input into the calendar, and preferences don't always align. The matter now goes to the Board of Education.
RESULTS OF CALENDAR VOTING
UPCOMING ELECTIONS
There are important elections for the NEA Representative Assembly and ATA Board of Directors, which will soon be upon us. As a reminder, non-dues-paying members DO NOT have the right to vote. Membership also provides members valuable benefits and protections, not only from ATA at the local level but CTA from the State and NEA at the national level. To become a member, please reach out to Gabriela Mangas at (626)289-1933.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Be sure to schedule your routine medical check-ups. Blue Shield's in-network deductibles are $250 per person and $750 per family. Wellness check-ups (yearly check-ups, labs, shots, etc.) are a covered benefit and not subject to the deductible. If you receive a bill for these services, contact Angie Heredia at Risk Management at (626) 943-6585 or visit the AUSD Employee Benefits Webpage for additional information.
MONTHLY MEETINGS - ELEMENTARY TEACHERS
If your principal requires more than two monthly meetings or if they pressure you to attend "voluntary" meetings that provide information necessary to do your job, talk to your rep or call ATA.
