Pascack Valley Regional High School Board of Education v. Pascack Valley Regional Support Staff Association

10-29-07 (A-96-05)

When the parties have agreed that nontenured school employees
may be disciplined only for just cause and have defined any
dismissal as a disciplinary action subject to the grievance
procedures at the employees’ option, a mid-term contract
termination imposed as punishment for behavior that would
otherwise call for imposition of discipline falls within the
collective agreement’s definition of dismissal subject to the
grievance procedures.
