Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Coleman, J. v. Parkland School District, Aplt.

November 24, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held that Section 712.1(a) of the Sunshine Act contains four standalone exceptions, including the Majority Vote Clause, and therefore reversed the Commonwealth Court, reinstating the trial court’s summary judgment that upheld the school board’s collective bargaining agreement. The decision rests on a plain‑meaning reading of the statutory word “or” as disjunctive.
