Advisory Panel. In the case of disagreement about the meaning or application of this document or if an agreement is not reached during negotiations, the matter will be submitted to an advisory panel within ten (10) days after the request of either party to the other. The Board will name one member and the Association will name another. A third member who shall be the chair shall be designated by the first two noted members. Members of such an advisory panel shall not be members of the Board of Education or employees of such Board. In case the first two members fail to agree on a third member within ten (10) days after receiving a written request by either party to so act, the American Arbitration Association shall be requested to submit to them a list of seven (7) arbitrators. The selection of the arbitrator shall be according to the voluntary rules of the American Arbitration Association. The advisory panel shall have the authority to hold hearings and to confer with any persons deemed advisable in seeking to effect recommendations for resolving the disagreement. Within fifteen (15) days after receiving the matter(s) under dispute, or by mutually agreed date, the panel shall first report recommendations for settlement to the negotiation teams. The Association shall take action upon the recommendations of the advisory panel within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of said recommendations. The Board shall take action upon the recommendations of the advisory panel at a special or regular meeting conducted not less than fifteen (15) days nor more than thirty (30) days after the receipt of said recommendations.
Advisory Panel. In the event an agreement is not reached by negotiation after full consideration of proposals and counter-proposals, either of the parties shall have the option of declaring impasse, and thereby creating an Advisory Panel of three (3) persons within ten (10) days of said declaration. One member shall be designated by the Board, one member by the recognized classified employee organization, and these shall select a third person. The third person, who shall act as chairperson, shall be named by the first two appointed members. If the two cannot agree on the third, the third person shall be selected from the list or lists of arbitrators from the American Arbitration Associations in accordance with their voluntary rules and regulations. The Advisory Panel shall act as fact-finders, conferring with both parties and making recommendations for settlement of the issue(s) in question. Each party will pay the expenses of its own representative on the Advisory Panel. However, the expenses of the chairman will be shared equally by the Board and the recognized classified employee organization. The recommendations of the Advisory Panel shall be submitted to the negotiators for consideration. If agreement is not reached within ten (10) days, or a mutually agreed upon date, it shall be submitted to the recognized classified employee organization for action and the Board for action within ten (10) days after being submitted. Said report shall be made public after the action of both parties. If the two parties agree on the panel’s recommendation for settlement, it shall be approved in accordance with Article VII Agreement.
Advisory Panel. If after sixty (60) calendar days from the first negotiation session agreement has not been reached on all items under negotiation, either party may call for the services of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to assist in negotiations. If a party calls for FMCS involvement, the other party shall join in a joint request. The Board and the Association agree that the Federal Mediation shall supersede all other dispute settlement procedures contained in Section 4117.14 of the Ohio Revised Code. This does not limit the Association’s right to strike under 4117.14(D)(2) in the Ohio Revised Code (ORC). The Association retains the right to strike for health and safety reasons after compliance with the procedures of ORC 4117 and the ruling of SERB.
