Bellflower Unified School Dist. v. Bellflower Education Assn.
The Bellflower Unified School District (the District) appeals from a judgment confirming an arbitration award in favor of the Bellflower Educational Association and the California Teachers Association (collectively referred to herein as the Association). The District contends that the arbitrator exceeded his authority because: (1) compliance with the award would require the District to violate Education Code sections 44663 and 44664; (2) the award grants a remedy not authorized by the terms of the parties agreement and disregards a provision in the agreement that prohibited the arbitrator from altering or adding to the terms of the agreement; and (3) the arbitrator refused to hear evidence material to the controversy, namely, evidence of the Districts past practices in performing evaluations. (Code Civ. Proc., 1286.2, subd. (a)(4).) Court affirm.
