If a proposal is unacceptable to one party, that party is obligated to give its reasons. Good Faith requires parties to recognize negotiations as a shared process.

The terms of this document, the procedures established therein, and the “good faith” provision in Article II., A., 3. hereof, shall not prevent, and shall not be construed to prevent, the Board from performing its obligation within such time and in such manner as may be required by law, nor from making such determinations and taking such actions preliminary thereto as may be required to insure timely compliance with the requirements of law.
5. Representatives of the Board and the XXXX shall participate in negotiations freely without fear of penalty, sanction, reprisal, or recrimination. No penalty or sanction, or threat nor implication thereof, shall attach to negotiation participation nor to failure to reach agreement in the course of negotiations; provided, however, this Article II. A., 5. shall not be construed so as to authorize, condone, excuse or protect any conduct which is in violation of the laws of the State of Ohio by either party.
