Summary:
The Problem: The purpose of this study was to determine that portion of the negotiations process perceived by educational executive officers of Florida and experts in public negotiations throughout the country to be a board responsibility. A teaching module was designed to instruct board members in this role. The validity of the teaching module was tested. Results: It was determined that the chief executive officers did have very clear perceptions of the role of board members in labor negotiations. There was no difference in these perceptions caused by the size of the district or the instructional level of the institution. When the Primer was read and evaluated by a purposeful sample of individuals there was a significant improvement in their ability to respond correctly on the evaluation instrument for the case study. The testing procedure was found to have no significant effect on the improvement. Conclusions: 1. There is an agreed upon role for board members in labor negotiations as perceived by chief executive officers. 2. An instructional module can be written which will increase a board members knowledge of labor negotiations.
