Policy Governance. The Parties agree the relationship between the Superintendent and the Board shall be governed by the principles set forth in Appendix A (the “Policy Governance”). Should the Board elect to materially alter the Governance Policy, such changes may be deemed by the Superintendent a Unilateral Termination by the District as such term is defined in Section 8.D except that any severance paid will be reduced by ten percent (10%). The Parties agree that a good faith discussion regarding a Unilateral Termination by the District under this section should take place prior to the Superintendent exercising any rights under this Section. Therefore, the Superintendent will provide the Board President with a written notice of his concern that the Board has materially altered its governing principles as described above thirty (30) days prior to the Superintendent terminating his employment with the District. During this thirty (30) day period the Parties will enter into good faith discussions intended to resolve the Parties’ governance concerns.
