Innovations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article XX, the parties agree that innovations in educational programs are necessary to the Hartford Public Schools. The Board reserves the right, by providing written notification to the Union, to request negotiations over provisions in this Agreement that may be affected by such innovations (e.g. changes in educational delivery models such as online courses and the use of distance learning technology), such as (but not limited to) length of school day, transfers, assignments, and preparation periods. Such a request to negotiate will be necessary only where such changes impact wages, hours or conditions of employment over which the parties are obligated to bargain. Such negotiations shall be governed by the provisions of Connecticut General Statutes Section 10-153f(e).
