Sec. 6. (a) The obligation to bargain collectively does not include the final approval of a contract concerning any items. Agreements reached through collective bargaining are binding as a contract only if ratified by the governing body of the school corporation and the exclusive representative. The obligation to bargain collectively does not require the school employer or the exclusive representative to agree to a proposal of the other or to make a concession to the other.

A ratified collective bargaining agreement shall include a provision specifying the date on which the public hearing described in section 1(b) of this chapter and the public meeting described in section 19 of this chapter occurred as well as an attestation signed by both parties attesting that the public hearing described in section 1(b) of this chapter and the public meeting described in section 19 of this chapter occurred on the dates specified in the ratified collective bargaining agreement.
