Policy text

PUBLIC NOTICE - PERSONNEL NEGOTIATIONS

Because the Governing Board has a responsibility to represent the public’s interest in negotiations with employee organizations, the Board is committed to keeping the public informed about issues being negotiated, providing members of the public an opportunity to express their views, and disclosing the position of each Board member in accordance with law.

Public Notice/Sunshining of Initial Proposals

All initial contract proposals of the Board and an employee organization which relate to matters within the scope of representation shall be presented at a public Board meeting and shall thereafter be public records.  

Meeting and negotiating between district and employee organization representatives shall not take place on these initial proposals until a reasonable time has elapsed after the submission of these proposals to enable the public to become informed and to express itself regarding the proposals at a public Board meeting.  

After the public has had an opportunity to provide input, the Board shall adopt its initial proposal at a public meeting.  

New subjects of meeting and negotiating arising after the presentation of initial proposals shall be made public within 24 hours.  If a vote is taken on any such subject by the Board, each Board member’s vote also shall be made public within 24 hours.  

Public Disclosure of Proposed Agreement

Before entering into a written agreement covering matters within the scope of representation, the Board shall disclose, at a public meeting, the major provisions of the agreement, including, but not limited to, the costs that would be incurred by the district under the agreement for the current and subsequent fiscal years.  

The Superintendent and chief business official shall certify, in writing, that any costs incurred by the district under the agreement can be met by the district during the term of the agreement and shall submit the certification to the Board prior to the Board’s approval of the agreement.  The certification shall itemize any budget revision necessary to meet the costs of the agreement in each year of its term.  

A copy of the proposed agreement shall be made available to the public prior to the day of the Board meeting. 

The Superintendent or designee shall prepare a summary of the major provisions and changes in the proposed agreement.
