| A373E | Newport-Mesa Unified School District 1109.01000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; ISSUES ON APPEAL; In General Charging party argued that he did not timely file an appeal of the dismissal of his charge because he was traveling out of “personal necessity.” He offered no further explanation or documentation to support or explain a delay of almost three months.

| 1777Ea | King City Joint Union High School District 1109.01000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; ISSUES ON APPEAL; In General PERB Regulation 32410(a) provides, in part, that: “Any party to a decision of the Board itself may, because of extraordinary circumstances, file a request to reconsider the decision within 20 days following the date of service of the decision.” The joint request was filed well past the deadline to file a request for reconsideration. The Board found good cause to excuse the late filing in accordance with PERB Regulation 32136. Because of the unusual and extraordinarily dire nature of the circumstances resulting from the Board’s make whole order and the fact that it took the parties nearly a year since the issuance of its original decision to discover these circumstances, the Board found good cause to excuse the late filed joint request for reconsideration. Requests for reconsideration may only be granted under extraordinary circumstances. Consequently, the Board has strictly applied the limited grounds included in PERB Regulation 32410 to avoid the use of the reconsideration process to reargue or relitigate issues which have already been decided. Reconsideration based on newly discovered evidence is to allow the Board “to have access to evidence which was unavailable at the time of hearing which could affect the underlying determination.” In this case, the dire consequences on the District and its employees resulting from complying with the remedy in the Board’s original decision could not be ascertained by the parties at the outset. more or view all topics or full text. | 31 | 64 | 02/16/07 |

| 2485E | Petaluma City Elementary School District/Joint Union High School District 1109.01000: CASE PROCESSING PROCEDURES; ISSUES ON APPEAL; In General Although charging party’s appeal did little more than reiterate the factual allegations of the charge and advanced no argument or authority that was not already considered and addressed by the Office of the General Counsel’s investigation of the charge, in arguing that the Office of the General Counsel reached the wrong conclusion based on the factual allegations, i.e., incorrectly applied the law to the factual allegations included in the charge, the appeal substantially complied with the requirement that the appeal place the Board and the respondent on notice of the issues, by identifying the substance of the dismissal and the specific issue(s) of fact, law, or application of law to fact, from which appeal is taken. A contrary rule would preclude the Board from reviewing a dismissal, even when the decision was manifestly incorrect. more or view all topics or full text. | 41 | 23 | 06/30/16 |
