The Role of the Superintendent And School Board in Collective Bargaining: 1989-2010

[...]there is an interesting, and like some of the other quotes, somewhat dated, observation concerning the role of the superintendent: "The ??? reduces the superintendent to the go-between; the AASA sees the superintendent in a "dual" role; the NSBA [National School Boards Association] views him as a "channel or interpreter." School board members should not sit at the bargaining table (Andrée, 1971). Since the board itself must determine who is on its negotiating team, it must, of course, decide whedier its own members will be on die team.
