Committee on Mutual Concerns. The parties of this Agreement hereby express their joint intention, through the terms and conditions of the contract, to continue their harmonious relations, to promote mutual cooperation and understanding, to establish and maintain new and effective lines of communications between the parties, to formulate rules, to define and resolve the proper interest of the teachers in their rights of compensation and the conditions under which they perform their duties, and by giving the teachers a voice in the development and evolution of those conditions, thereby to assist the administration and the Committee in providing the Town of Ipswich with a school system representative of the best ideals and the professional efforts of the teachers, the administration, and the Committee. In order to achieve these ideal ends, the parties recognize the need for establishing and maintaining a conduit for mutual expression and discussion, short of the formal contract grievance procedure, whereby the parties may hear and attempt jointly to resolve the problems which may arise after the execution of the Agreement and which, if reviewed informally, would better advance the ends toward which this Agreement was mutually designed. Therefore, in recognition of the professional standing of teachers and the fact that teachers’ ideas and opinions systematically and periodically collated and expressed are of significant value in improving the quality of education in, as well as the efficient and economical operation of, the Ipswich School System; and in further recognition of the Association’s collective knowledge of the ideas and opinions of teachers and their present and continuing concern for the best interest of the school system, the parties to the Agreement hereby establish the Committee on Mutual Concerns (herein called the “Mutual Committee”) which shall consist of thirteen (13) members as follows:
