Labor & Employment (Collective Bargaining)

HB 4011 requires Oregon school districts to negotiate class size and caseload limits as mandatory topics during collective bargaining with employee representatives. This applies specifically to schools receiving Title I federal funding under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. The bill expands existing bargaining requirements by adding these two specific issues to the list of subjects school districts must discuss with unions. It does not change other topics excluded from mandatory negotiations, such as school calendars or curriculum decisions.
