This publication presents the full text of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Hortonville Joint School District No. 1 et al. v. Hortonville Education Association et al., as written by Chief Justice Burger. Also included is the text of the dissenting opinion written by Justice Stewart, as well as a brief syllabus that summarizes the major issues in the case and outlines the main points of the Court's ruling. In its decision, the Court reversed the decision of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and held that the due process clause of the 14th Amendment did not guarantee the striking Hortonville teachers that the decision to terminate their employment would be made or reviewed by any body other than the district's school board.
