Should Teachers Have Negotiation Rights?

During the month of May, Canyons School District showed up at a board of education meeting to voice concern over losing negotiating rights on some contract issues.
The Canyons Education Association and Canyons School Board were currently conducting contract negotiations, and teachers were concerned that the district was keeping them from weighing in on certain policies.
Superintendent David Doty wrote a letter to Canyons School District employees stating that three out of 25 policies related to teacher contracts will no longer be negotiable. District spokeswoman Jennifer Toomer-Cook says those policies include:

• Student discipline
• A district advisory council
• A school advisory council

Toomer-Cook says the board of education wants to limit negotiations to terms of employment and those three non-negotiable points are not connected with that. She said they have been identified as board responsibilities.
But teachers feel that if the board takes away their opportunity to voice concern on these three policies, it may lead to further loss.
If this were happening in your district, how would you react and what would you do?
