Guidelines for the development of reports for fact finders

The purpose of the study was to develop guidelines relative to the collection, organization, and presentation of data by Indiana school governing body negotiation personnel for use by a fact finder during impasse situations in the collective bargaining process.Study participants included fifty-six individuals identified by officials of the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board as qualified to serve as fact finder in impasse situations between a school governing body and a teacher organization. Participants provided value judgment responses to statement items identifying data which should be included in reports developed for use by fact finders. Statement items were organized to present data relative to General Background Information, Revenue, Salary and Fringe Benefits, Budgeting, Cash Flow and Cash Balance, Non-Financial Issues, and Miscellaneous General Comparisons. The combined responses were developed into a preliminary set of guidelines.Selected administrative heads of eight Indiana school systems involved in fact finding procedures during 1975, and fact finder specialists employed full time by the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board, reviewed and analyzed the preliminary guidelines and made suggestions, corrections, additions, deletions, and/or editing changes based on past experience. The findings of the study were developed into a set of guidelines for the development of reports prepared by school management negotiation team personnel for use by a fact finder in Indiana impasse situations. The Guidelines for the Development of Reports for Fact Finders was divided to include coverage of general background information, revenue information, salary and fringe benefit information, budgeting information, non-financial issues, data, and miscellaneous general comparisons. Miscellaneous suggestions not involved in the study format were also included.
