§ 2107. Ratification of agreement (a) The representatives of school employers and the representatives of school employees shall each develop procedures by which their members shall ratify the agreement entered into by the Commission pursuant to this chapter within 30 days after the date of the agreement; provided, however, that if the agreement is determined by arbitration pursuant to subsection 2105(b) of this chapter, the agreement shall not be subject to ratification. (b) In the event that either the school employers or school employees, or both, fail to ratify the agreement, the following provisions shall apply: (1) If the Commission has not engaged in mediated fact-finding pursuant to subsection 2105(a) of this chapter during the current negotiation cycle, the Commission shall meet with the fact finder pursuant to the provisions of that subsection to settle all matters remaining in dispute. If the Commission is able to reach a new agreement, that agreement shall be submitted to the bargaining units for ratification. If, after mediated fact-finding, the Commission is unable to reach a new agreement, the Commission shall proceed to arbitration pursuant to subsection 2105(b) of this chapter. (2) If the Commission has already engaged in mediated fact-finding pursuant to subsection 2105(a) of this chapter during the current negotiation cycle, the Commission shall proceed to arbitration pursuant to subsection 2105(b) of this chapter.
