Relationship-Building between District and Association Leadership. 24 The Association and the District agree that talking and working together is often the key 25 to improved working relationships. As tangible evidence of our mutual commitment to 26 improving teaching and learning in Tumwater, each group agrees to work toward 27 providing the other with greater access to their respective leadership groups and, as a first 28 step, to be receptive to requests to appear in person before those groups. Both parties 29 believe that we must work to build authentic relationships between Tumwater Education 30 Association leadership and Tumwater School District administrative staff if we are to 31 achieve the benefits of a genuine partnership in Tumwater, and if we are to move toward 32 joint administration of the Agreement at all sites. 33
