Carlin Gets Negotiations Bill Sent To Governor
The Kansas Senate approved a bill 36 to 4 sending it to Governor John Carlin. The measure expands mandatory negotiation topics in school district talks, adding pay under supplemental contracts, leave, grievance arbitration, contract renewal, professional contract terms, probation, and appraisal procedures. Senator Joe Harder called the bill good despite widespread in-fighting during its passage. The bill stems from a 1979 80 study on impasses, contract ratification, and unit representation.
