Board of Education of the Woodstown-Pilesgrove Regional School District, Plaintiff-Appellant, v…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the lower courts' orders enforcing the arbitrator's award that required the Board of Education to pay teachers for two additional hours worked on the day before Thanksgiving. The Court held that the school‑calendar change was a negotiable term and condition of employment subject to binding arbitration, and that the arbitrator correctly applied the five‑day notice provision of the collective bargaining agreement.
