In the Matter of Board of Education of the Arlington Central School District, Respondent v. Arlington Teachers…

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that, under the 1986 amendment to Education Law § 1711(6), an arbitrator may order the reinstatement of teachers who were involuntarily transferred in violation of a collective bargaining agreement, and therefore affirmed the arbitration award. The Court reversed the Appellate Division’s decision that the award exceeded the arbitrator’s authority.
