The negotiations continued to be a quality learning experience from beginning to end. It was certainly important to experience the process, keep the bigger picture of the contract in mind and work towards a win/win without putting the district in the red.
I can see the collective bargaining process a good place to begin but would also like to see more districts move towards an interest based process. However, trust and relationships would have to be formed prior to moving in that direction.
Union #1 did a very good job of representing the union and held strong on issues that union members would. The organization of knowing what has been tentatively agreed upon and knowing what remains is also a critical process. I would have a fourth individual keeping track of things electronically along with a traditional note keeped. With technology, it would seem that we could keep a draft of the contract updated as we progress.
That being said, I still have strong convictions that a superintendency is not going to be for me.
