The first scenario was good. You must prepare. Even if you have not lived in the community for a length of time, you need find out what the community holds as well. In Jay Greening presentation, he said you even prepare what you think the other side may come to the table with. It is evident that this superintendent was not prepared and out of touch with the community.
As far as the simulation, keeping track of the paperwork began to get a little tricky. As note keeper and trying to watch the board and have notes in order in case we needed to reference back was tricky at times. John and Matt did a great job representing the group. I would have liked taking one of the issues we were stuck on and moved to an interest based bargaining approach, rather than sticking with positional. We were stuck on two issues. And the point about how many union people it really impacted is not something that I considered in the process. I would of liked to have heard more about the other groups ten starting points and what they finally settled on. We were very close in the area of salary at 2% vs. 2.25 for three years.
Thank you.
