Article 5

Special Meeting

Text of 2011 School Warrant Article 5

If Article 2 does not pass, the Raymond School District will have the authority to call a special meeting for the purpose of presenting a new ratified collective bargaining agreement.¹

A YES vote allows the School District to call one special meeting to address a new contract.

A NO vote means that there can be no special meeting.

Reasons why some voters might vote yes:

• Gives the School Board the opportunity to renegotiate the contract and present it to the voters.
• The district could hold a meeting without having to petition the court, thereby saving legal fees.

Reasons why some voters might vote no:

• An additional meeting would cost approximately $1,200 if a simple ballot rather than printed ballots are used.²
