Reflection on Saturday - Trust at the Table

Saturday's discussion about trust at the bargaining table let me to reflect on the need for building relationships. Negotiations do not begin at the onset of contract discussions, rather - they begin the first day on the job. The foundation for successful negotiations is set in the way we respond to every day school issues which include relationships with principals, instructors, school board members, students, and community members along with fiscal responsibility.

If, on a daily basis, we approach our responsibilities with integrity, commitment to excellence, and authentic leadership, the contract negotiations will come to a successful conclusion. Success is working through complicated issues while maintaining a positive school climate.
