This is an analysis of the current Education Association model collective bargaining agreement. This document is intended to provide aid and assistance to board bargaining teams and negotiators; it is not a substitute for professional assistance where such help is indicated. The board of education-oriented clauses included in the analysis indicate sample language only; the clauses do not present model or recommended language. The substance, content, and consequences of American Federation of Teachers contract proposals in most districts will be quite similar to those included in this model. The areas covered are recognition, employee evaluation and termination, employee compensation and fringe benefits, leaves, grievance procedure, negotiation procedure, the effect of the agreement, reduction of teachers, and minimum necessary contract clauses to be proposed by the board of education. These latter clauses cover strikes and lockouts, management rights, and waiver of additional bargaining. (Author/IRT)
