Employee Relations

If a school district has a need, chances are that PSBA has a service, expert or program to meet that need.

Whatever a district's specific needs, Employee Relations services can help every step of the way. Members receive timely data and gain valuable insights as a result of PSBA's indepth research. Take advantage of our services to become an informed, respected and successful participant in all aspects of employee relations.

The Employee Relations Project

The Employee Relations Project, is a comprehensive service that is tailored to a school district's unique needs. Services include a thorough analysis of the collective bargaining agreement, local and statewide negotiating trends, hot topics at bargaining tables throughout Pennsylvania, advice on effective bargaining strategies, salary and benefit trends, as well as state and national news about collective bargaining in public education.

The Institute for Collective Bargaining and Labor Relations

Formerly known as Negotiations Training School, this new project is offered in a three-part series each year, and designed sequentially for board members and administrators to take all three sessions. By the end of your coursework, you will be prepared to begin bargaining with your professional and/or support staffs. PSBA also encourages attendance at any of the sessions based on one's previous bargaining experience. The fee for this service is $99 per session, or $250 for a three-part series.
