Resumption of Negotiations. If either party shall fail to ratify the tentative agreement, that party shall notify the other within five (5) working days, shall inform the other party to the extent possible of the reasons for rejection and shall confer with the other party to arrange a date, time and place to resume negotiations with ten (10) working days of such notice. The Board agrees not to negotiate directly with employees, rather than the Union. The Board further agrees not to negotiate or otherwise deal with any other organization(s) purporting to represent bargaining unit employees during the term of this Agreement. The Union agrees to negotiate directly with the designated Board negotiating team and not with the individual members of the School Board. Any procedural concerns of the parties will be directed to the respective chief negotiators whenever practicable.
