A-79-24 East Orange Educational Support Professionals’ Association v. East Orange Board of Education (090489)
Read Appellate Opinion A-3657-21
Was the arbitrator’s decision -- that the East Orange Board of Education violated the collective bargaining agreement with its custodial employees when it ceased paying them extra compensation for reporting to work when schools were closed for COVID-19 -- reasonably debatable in light of N.J.S.A. 18A:7F-9(e)(1) (providing that during a state of emergency, school employees shall be compensated “as if the school facilities remained open”)?
