Impact Bargaining. Items that the Association deems of sufficient import to be usually needing impact bargaining shall be so indicated in a meeting of the Labor Management Relations Committee called by the Association or agreed to by the two constituencies. Impact bargaining items decided upon need ratification by the Board and, at least, the full executive committee of the Association. Either the Association Executive Board or the Board may call a Labor Management Relations Committee meeting. No later than five (5) school days after the call has been issued, each party shall provide the other party with a descriptive agenda that reviews the items to be discussed at the meeting. A meeting of the Labor Management Relations Committee shall follow no later than fifteen (15) school days following the call for a meeting. Without any compromise to the grievance procedure, the Labor Management Relations Committee may attempt to mediate grievances brought before it by a teacher or group of teachers. When using the venue of the Labor Management Relations Committee, the usual time frames of the grievance procedure shall be held in abeyance, providing the initiation of the appeal to the Labor Management Relations Committee has been made in a timely manner and in writing, according to contract specifications relative to the event, or when the grievant(s) reasonably had knowledge of such event alleged as cause of any grievance. If mediation of a grievance (as defined by the collective bargaining agreement) fails, the Association reserves its right to process a timely filed grievance and to submit such grievance to binding grievance arbitration. If the parties agree, grievances may be processed directly to arbitration if the committee resolution process fails. No settlement offers of mediated grievances shall be admissible at any arbitration, but both parties are free to stipulate to any other facts or positions taken at the arbitration.
