(a) If an agreement has not been reached on
the items to be bargained collectively by November 1, as provided in
IC 6-1.1-17-5, the parties shall continue the terms of the current
contract that is in effect, and the school employer may issue tentative
individual contracts and prepare its budget on that basis. During this
period, in order to allow the successful resolution of the dispute, the
school employer may not unilaterally change the terms or conditions of
employment that are issues in dispute.
(b) Upon the expiration of the current contract that is in effect,
except for teacher appreciation grant stipends and additions to base
salary provided under IC 20-43-16, the school employer shall continue
under the terms of the current contract that is in effect, with no increase
or increment in salary, wages, or benefits for any bargaining unit
employee until a new contract is executed.
(c) The only parts of the contract that must continue under this
section are the items contained in the contract and listed in section 4 of
this chapter.
(d) This section may not be construed as relieving the school
employer or the school employee organization from the duty to bargain
collectively until a mutual agreement has been reached and a contract
entered as called for in this chapter.
