Collective Bargaining Agreement

The Board of Education recognizes that collective bargaining agreements are legally binding, bilateral agreements. The Board is committed to carrying out the provisions of each agreement and expects the agreements to be consistently and uniformly administered.

In order to help prepare for future negotiations, the Board and/or the Superintendent or designee shall identify any portions of the agreement that hinder the district's efforts to meet district goals.

An executed copy of each written agreement between the Board and exclusive representative shall be filed with the Public Employment Reations Board within 60 calendar days after execution of each such agreement.

The provisions of the employee agreement shall be binding on the Board and on all employees covered by the agreement. Policies and regulations of the Board which conflict with provisions of the negotiated employee agreement shall not be binding on those employees who are covered by the terms of such agreement.

To the extent possible, these policies and regulations have been written to avoid and eliminate any conflict with or duplication of the negotiated employee agreements.
