Brian Hoxie’s Painting Company, Inc., Appellant v. Cato-Meridian Central School District, Respondent

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower courts, holding that Labor Law § 220‑d’s notice requirements apply to school districts but that a contractor has no implied private cause of action against a school district for the district’s failure to give such notice. The court based its decision on statutory construction, legislative history, and the enforcement scheme of the prevailing‑wage statutes.
