5021: Conflicts Between Policies and Bargaining Agreements
Adoption Date: Nov. 20, 2012
Except where expressly provided to the contrary, personnel policies apply to the staff of the district. However, if there is a conflict between the terms of a collective bargaining agreement and the district's policy, the law provides that the terms of the collective bargaining agreement will prevail in regard to the staff covered by that agreement.
When a matter is not specifically provided for in the appropriate negotiated contract, the district's policies will govern.
