1. The terms of employment of superintendents, principals, and teachers, for the school
year following the effective date of the formation of the new district shall not be affected by
the formation of the new district, except in accordance with the provisions of sections 279.15
through 279.18 and 279.24 and the authority and responsibility to offer new contracts or to
continue, modify, or terminate existing contracts pursuant to sections 279.12, 279.13, 279.15
through 279.21, 279.23, and 279.24 for the school year beginning with the effective date of
the reorganization shall be transferred from the boards of the existing districts to the board
of the new district on the third Tuesday of January prior to the school year the reorganization
is effective.
2. a. The collective bargaining agreement of the district with the largest basic enrollment
for the year prior to the reorganization, as defined in section 257.6, in the new district
shall serve as the base agreement and the employees of the other districts involved in the
formation of the new district shall automatically be accreted to the bargaining unit of that
collective bargaining agreement for purposes of negotiating the contracts for the following
years without further action by the employment appeal board. If only one collective
bargaining agreement is in effect among the districts which are party to the reorganization,
then that agreement shall serve as the base agreement, and the employees of the other
districts involved in the formation of the new district shall automatically be accreted to
the bargaining unit of that collective bargaining agreement for purposes of negotiating the
contracts for the following years without further action by the employment appeal board.
b. The board of the newly formed district, using the base agreement as its existing
contract, shall bargain with the combined employees of the existing districts for the school
year beginning with the effective date of the reorganization. The bargaining shall be
completed by the dates specified in section 20.17 prior to the school year in which the
reorganization becomes effective or within one hundred eighty days after the organization of
the new board, whichever is later. If a bargaining agreement was already concluded by the
board and employees of the existing district with the contract serving as the base agreement
for the school year beginning with the effective date of the reorganization, that agreement
shall be void. However, if the base agreement contains multiyear provisions affecting school
years subsequent to the effective date of the reorganization, the base agreement shall remain
in effect as specified in the agreement.
c. The provisions of the base agreement shall apply to the offering of new contracts, or
continuation, modification, or termination of existing contracts as provided in subsection 1.
