Supreme Court of New Hampshire
Keene School District v. Keene Education Association, Nea-Nh
February 8, 2022
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of the School District’s petition to modify, correct, or vacate an arbitrator’s award. The Court held that the arbitrator acted within his contractual authority, did not commit a plain mistake of law in interpreting the collective bargaining agreement, and that the award’s remedy was proper. The Court applied de novo review to the arbitrator’s interpretation of the contract.
