Court: Supreme Court of Pennsylvania; October 27, 2022; Pennsylvania; State Supreme Court
Original Court Document: View Document
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Middle District, has granted the Petition for Allowance of Appeal filed by the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board against the Abington Heights School District. The key issues under consideration include: 1. Whether the District breached its bargaining obligations under the Public Employe Relations Act by contracting with Johnson College to provide high school credit courses without negotiating with the exclusive representative of the District's teachers. 2. Whether the District violated its bargaining obligations given that established Pennsylvania precedent recognizes contracting out bargaining unit work as affecting employment terms and conditions, irrespective of any impact on employee wages and hours. 3. Whether the District failed to comply with its bargaining obligations under the Public Employe Relations Act, considering that Section 15-1525 of the Public School Code does not prohibit teachers from teaching dual enrollment courses and does not prevent the District from negotiating with its teachers' representative regarding the assignment of instructors for these courses. Additionally, both parties are instructed to address the implications of recent amendments to 24 P.S. 15-1525, enacted on July 8, 2022, on the aforementioned issues.
