Among the prerogatives are the rights to: recruit, terminate, assign, hire, evaluate, promote, demote, transfer, control and manage school properties and facilities, control and manage courses of instruction or control and manage course materials for instruction. 1.4.3 At the first negotiations meeting, the Representative Organization shall transmit to the Board the specific written proposal or proposals they wish to have the Board consider. Thereafter, no later than the second negotiations meeting, the Board shall transmit to the Representative Organization the specific written proposal or proposals they wish to have the Representative Organization consider. After either party has transmitted initial proposals, no new proposals may be introduced unless by mutual consent. Simply because a proposal has been advanced does not mean that agreement must be reached between the parties regarding such proposal.
