It shall be the obligation of the school committee to meet and confer in good faith
with the representative or representatives of the negotiating or bargaining agent
within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from the agent of the request
for a meeting for negotiating or collective bargaining purposes. This obligation includes
the duty to cause any agreement resulting from negotiations or bargaining to be reduced
to a written contract; provided, that no contract shall exceed the term of three (3)
years unless a budget commission or a receiver has been appointed for a municipality
pursuant to chapter 9 of title 45 or if a municipality has a locally administered pension plan in “critical status”
and is required to submit a funding improvement plan pursuant to § 45-65-6(2). In either case, the contract shall not exceed the term of five (5) years. An unfair
labor practice charge may be complained of by either the bargaining agent or the school
committee to the state labor relations board which shall deal with the complaint in
the manner provided in chapter 7 of this title.
