During the past three months, we have published a series of articles in Update about the overwhelming workload experienced by AALA members this year. To put a human face on the issue, we asked administrators at all levels and in various departments to write about their personal experiences (see the piece on APEIS working conditions, page 4). Many of our members shared suggestions for ways to reduce administrators’ workload, which we have discussed with the Superintendent during our regular meetings. We have told him and the two deputy superintendents that our members are barely hanging on, and something has got to give.
