We started to get into the nuts and bolts of negotiations. Sitting on the Board side, I enjoyed listening to the teacher group make their proposal and their rationale behind their demands per the CBA. It is amazing the amount of time, knowledge, and detail it will take to truly be prepared for a negotiation session, particularly from the Board side of the table. Obviously, we have not done it justice in our simulation due to many factors but what we are getting out of it is the enormity of the process and that is an excellent experience. It will be interesting how the simulation will unfold.
I found Dr. House’s visit very informational. I enjoyed listening to everyone’s experiences during their internship. I think slowly we are figuring out that we can do the job of a superintendent but we all have a great deal to learn about the position but that will come with time. The internship will be a very valuable tool for us to continue to gain confidence and knowledge.

Class time has become very interesting with the hands on experiences. Keeping emotions out of it, especially when you have a competitive nature is hard. It is a constant struggle to remember that there was one spokesperson and comments needed to be made in caucus.
