If the District is required to add any professional staff development days to the work- year to comply with its obligations under Iowa Code Chapter 284 and the District receives funding from the State for such additional days, then the District will add such days to the contract and, provided the State funding for such days is sufficient to do so, the District will pay employees at the per diem rate for such additional days. If the District is required to add any professional staff development days to the work- year to comply with its obligations under Iowa Code Chapter 284 and the State funding for such days is not sufficient to pay employees at the per diem rate for such additional days, then the parties will bargain to impasse under a timeline waiver using the impasse procedures contained in Iowa Code Sections 20.20 and 20.22.
