Both sides, Association and District will need to look at the briefs for their own side as well as for the other side. Although what you have here are two fact-finding briefs, you will be divided into teams and will be attempting to negotiate a collective bargaining agreement based on this case material.
The brief for the Association can be found here.
The brief for the District (actually it is a BOCES) can be found here.
When the exercise is complete, I thought you might like to see the fact-finding report that was actually issued in this case.
