The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Because the board of trustees never voted to terminate Weber, there was never a "decision to terminate" within the meaning of the statute, see Mont. Code Ann. § 20-4-204, and the duty to arbitrate was never triggered. Therefore, we reverse the district court's summary judgment in favor of the defendants and remand.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
