In the Matter of the Arbitration between Candor Central School District, and Candor Teachers Association

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the arbitration panel exceeded its authority by finding liability under the substantive dismissal provision that barred termination without just cause, but upheld the panel's finding of a procedural violation. The award was set aside on the substantive ground and the case was remanded for the arbitrators to fashion a remedy limited to the procedural breach.
