Our Mission

Welcome to the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board (IEERB) website!

The Indiana Education Employment Relations Board (IEERB) was established in order to promote harmonious and cooperative relationships between public school teachers and the school corporations they serve. In order to accomplish this task IEERB has developed rules and guidance to lead school employees and employers through the labor relations process.

The Indiana Code that outlines the functions of IEERB may be found at IC 20-29.

The three primary areas for the agency as determined by the state legislature are: Unit and Exclusive Representatives, Collective Bargaining and Unfair Practices. The agency is also responsible for collection of school statistical data on agreements reached and provide access to that information.

The agency has developed this website to make information accessible to the public. If you cannot find the information that you are looking for please contact our office at 317-233-6620.

The 2013 bargaining season has begun. As a reminder, raified contracts must be submitted online, by clicking on the "Submit A Ratified Contract" box, or e-mail to ratifiedcontract@ieerb.in.gov Contracts must be complete and signed by both parties, or they will be returned. IEERB will declare impasse after September 30 if it does not receive a ratified contract from parties that are or should be bargaining. Parties who timely notify IEERB of settlement will have until October 10 to submit ratified contracts. Bargaining status forms and Last, Best Offer (LBO) requirements will be available in September.

IEERB will be collecting data on bargaining unit member salary and paid benefits, which will be aggregated and made available for review and analysis. Due to the short bargaining time frame and other new requirements, IEERB will be unable to continue providing data on the first batch of collective bargaining agreements during the bargaining season. IEERB also collects and posts all collective bargaining agreements. IEERB's posting of these agreements is not an indication of their compliance. Moreover, IEERB will not be providing guidance on individual collective bargaining agreements. IEERB will be providing updated guidance on collective bargaining and impasse. Please note that IEERB is a neutral agency and cannot provide legal advice.
