ARTICLE 16: SUPPORT OF AGREEMENT
The District and the Association agree that it is to their mutual benefit to encourage the resolution of differences through the meet and negotiation process. Therefore, it is agreed that the Association will support this Agreement for its term and will not appear before the Board of Education to seek change or improvement in any matter subject to the meet and negotiation process except by mutual agreement of the District and the Association. However, the right to negotiate on a new contract is not abdicated as specified in Article 18 herein. However, notwithstanding the provisions contained in this Article, unit members may appear before the Board of Education for purposes other than for modification or improvement of this Agreement.
