The Associated Administrators of Los Angeles (AALA) proudly celebrated its 45th anniversary this year. AALA was formed in 1981 when AESA (elementary association), LAASSA (secondary association), CDS (supervisory association) and ACCE (adult association) joined forces to form a single association to represent all middle managers in the Los Angeles Unified School District. AALA members voted to affiliate with Teamsters Local 2010 in December 2024, finalizing the affiliation in May 2026.
