Outcome
Maryland Court of Appeals affirmed that the Public School Labor Relations Board (not the State Board of Education) has exclusive authority to determine the legality of collective bargaining agreement terms. The court held that a binding arbitration provision for noncertificated employee terminations is a legal subject of bargaining, reversing the lower courts and permitting arbitration to proceed.
