    NEGOTIATIONS GOALS

    The Barnstable School Committee recognizes that education is a public trust; it is therefore dedicated to providing the best possible educational opportunities for the young people of this community. In negotiations, this objective may be best attained if there is a climate of mutual trust and understanding between the negotiating parties. Overall there will be a climate of common sense, good faith and fair play in the negotiation process.

    The Barnstable School Committee believes that the best interests of public education will be served by establishing procedures that provide an orderly method for the School Committee and representatives of the staff to discuss matters of common concern.

    It is further recognized that nothing in negotiations will compromise the School Committee's legal responsibilities nor will any employee's statutory rights and privileges be impaired.
