High Court awards back pay to Iowa City teacher
The Iowa Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling ordered back pay for Richard Bristol, a South East Junior High social studies teacher in Iowa City, who was denied a raise in 1980-81 after the school board froze salaries at the prior year. The court backed the arbitrator and lower court, ruling the term unsatisfactory performance was ambiguous and subject to arbitration, while Bristol defended his competence and said the decision rested on a secret file. He estimated back pay around $2,000.
