Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
School Code
Plaintiffs, educational support personnel (ESP) employed by School Board, filed declaratory judgment action against Board, seeking reinstatement to full-time positions and payment of back pay and benefits. Board had "honorably discharged" Plaintiffs from full-time work and offered to re-hire each as a part-time employee. ESPs are "at-will" employees. School Code provides tenure rights to full-time employment only to certified teachers, and not ESP nor any other category of employees. (LYTTON and O'BRIEN, concurring.)
