Attaining Objectives. Attainment of objectives for the educational program of the District requires mutual understanding and cooperation among the Board, the superintendent, his staff, and the teachers. Therefore, free and open exchange of views is desirable and necessary with all parties concerned. Good faith involves coming together with the intention of solving common problems, insuring good relationships, and educational progress. 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 counterproposals. "Good faith" requires both parties to recognize negotiations as a shared process, preferably a process of mutual problem solving.
