(t) Horace Mann charter schools shall be exempt
from local collective bargaining agreements to the extent provided by the terms of its charter; provided, however, that employees of the Horace Mann charter school shall continue to be members of the local collective bargaining unit and shall accrue seniority and shall receive, at a minimum, the salary and benefits established in the contract of the local collective bargaining unit where the Horace Mann charter school is located.
So are the proscriptions in most states against hiring uncertified teachers, and, in some states, against exempting charter school teachers
from local collective -
bargaining agreements.
