HB 2034 would amend the Professional Negotiations Act so that the only mandatorily negotiable topics would be “salaries and wages” and “hours and amounts of work.” A board of education would have to agree to negotiate any other topic. There are no association rights that would be mandatorily negotiable under this bill.
This change would apply only to K-12 and the Kansas State Schools for the Deaf and Blind. Community colleges and technical colleges would continue to be required to negotiate any topic they currently are required to negotiate.
