In the Matter of Associated Teachers of Huntington, Inc., Appellant v. Board of Education, Union Free School…

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that the collective bargaining agreement created an enforceable contractual right to sabbatical leaves that existed before the 1971 Sabbatical Leave Moratorium Act, so the arbitrator's award did not violate the Act and was properly confirmed. The Court also concluded that even if the Act were implicated, its public policy was not strong enough to justify vacating an arbitration award.
