2023-2024 Impact Statement
UAOS was founded in 1988 as the exclusive representative of OUSD administrators. Our legal standing allows us to negotiate wages, benefits, workplace conditions, health and safety, professional development, and other work-related issues. We represent individual members, when necessary, to ensure that OUSD acts fairly, legally, honors contractual rights, and treats members with respect.
UAOS employs a full-time Administrative Engagement Coordinator and a .8 Executive Director.
The UAOS Executive Director welcomed administrators back by visiting every OUSD school in the fall. She provided individual support to 84 members with issues such as workplace harassment, representation during investigations, grievance support, violations regarding job duties, pay and benefits issues, legal matters, representation during disciplinary actions, support during reassignments, and concerns related to a hostile work environment. Many of these issues required multiple meetings and coordination of different departments.
The Executive Director attended all of the UAOS/OUSD Negotiations meetings.
She represented UAOS on the following Boards:
OUSD Annuity Board (and attended the yearly conference)
Chabot Space and Science Center
CAUSA (California Association of Urban School Administrators) and attended the yearly conference
She also attended the monthly Principal Advisory Committee meetings and the associated planning meetings.
The President represented UAOS at the Health Benefits and Governance Board (HBGB).
