In the Matter of West Irondequoit Teachers Association v. Robert D. Helsby, Constituting the Public Employment…

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower courts' judgment that class size in a public school is a matter of educational policy, not a term or condition of employment subject to mandatory bargaining under the Taylor Law. The PERB's interpretation of the statute was deemed permissible, and the court lacked authority to substitute its own view.
