The training ("Elearning") from the New Jersey School Board’s Association states that the full Board selects a negotiations committee and sets the Board’s framework (bargaining parameters, goals, priorities, etc.) prior to any face to face negotiations.
Our by-laws don’t address the formation of negotiation
committees. Our by-laws only address Committees that “shall not take action on
behalf of the Board.” The committees referenced are only to
conduct studies, make recommendations to the Board and act in an advisory capacity. This description can apply to a “personnel
committee” or a “curriculum committee”, not a negotiations committee.
