Rather, the School Board maintains that it is not bound by an arbitration award ordering reinstatement of a FTB substitute teacher and that therefore the IELRB incorrectly found that the School Board violated section 14(a)(8) and, derivatively, section 14(a)(1) of the Labor Relations Act.
The School Board also asserts that the arbitrator's decision that Brown be reinstated to the FTB substitute teacher pool conflicted with section 34-8.1 of the School Code.
The School Board claims that, pursuant to the section, the School Board has the exclusive authority to discharge all categories of teachers and that, since this authority is exclusive, an arbitrator cannot order the reinstatement of a FTB substitute teacher.
