Attaining Objectives. Attainment of the District’s educational objectives requires mutual understanding and cooperation between the Board and the members. Free and open exchange of views is desirable and necessary, with all participating in good faith deliberations leading to agreement on matters of mutual concern. “Good faith” implies coming to the negotiating table with the intention of negotiating, not of dogmatically pursuing preconceived stands. “Good faith” requires that the Association and the Board be willing to react to each other’s proposals. If a proposal is unacceptable to one of the parties, that party is obligated to give its reasons and offer counter- proposals. “Good faith” requires both parties to recognize negotiations as a shared process. Neither side is sent to the bargaining table with a “take it or leave it” ultimatum.
