Board rejected union’s argument that district breach contract policy concerning finality of hearing officer’s decision. Regardless of any ambiguity in the contract language, Education Code section 45113, as it existed at that time, prohibited the district from delegating its authority over disciplinary actions. Thus, by statute, hearing officer’s decision was not final but rather subject to adoption by the district.
