Is your district prepared for the upcoming bargaining season? If you have contracts that will expire this summer, it's crucial to strategize now and ensure successful negotiations in the months to come. MASB's Labor Relations Workshop on Friday, Feb. 27 will help to strengthen your negotiation season preparedness. We highly recommend several representatives from your district attend—you'll leave with valuable information.
