Text: The LeRoy Education Association (LEA) filed a complaint with the IELRB alleging that LeRoy Community Unit School District No. 2 (District 2) violated the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act (Act) by failing to bargain concerning the development and implementation of a teachers' evaluation plan, and concerning the impact of that decision. (Ill.Rev.Stat.1987, ch. 48, par. 1714.) The hearing officer found that District 2 had violated the Act. District 2 then filed an exception to that ruling with the IELRB. Following the submission of briefs and oral argument, the IELRB filed an opinion adopting the hearing officer's findings and affirming the hearing officer's determination that District 2 had violated the Act. LeRoy Community Unit School District 2, 5 Pub. Employee Rep. (Ill.) par. 1131, No. 88-CA-0031-S (IELRB June 23, 1989). District 2 thereafter filed a petition for review in the appellate court. That court reversed the IELRB's decision and found that District 2 did not violate the Act by failing to bargain with the LEA over the implementation and impact of a teachers' evaluation program. ( LeRoy, 199 Ill. App.3d 347, 145 Ill.Dec. 239, 556 N.E.2d 857.) This court then granted the LEA's petition for leave to appeal (134 Ill.2d R. 315), and consolidated the LeRoy and Central City cases.
