Contract negotiations
 
  Most of a board of education's annual budget is applied to employee salaries and benefits. Further, collective bargaining agreements may significantly widen or restrict the discretion of boards to make personnel-related decisions which further the board's goals. The comprehensive legal services offered by Pepple & Waggoner range from taking the lead role in at-the-table bargaining, to providing background advice on strategy and proposal language. Members of this firm have bargained in all types of formats, including traditional, "win-win" and intensive bargaining formats.
