| 2548E | Lake Elsinore Unified School District (Edwards) 1500.03000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; EDUCATION CODE; Education Code Sections Considered by PERB (By Subject) Where Charging Party’s discrimination allegation turns on a matter of law outside PERB’s traditional expertise, i.e., whether the public school employer complied with state law and/or regulations governing certificated employee retirement credit, the appropriate question is not which of two competing interpretations of external law is the more plausible, but whether the language in dispute is reasonably susceptible to the charging party’s interpretation and whether that interpretation supports a viable, i.e., non-frivolous, legal theory of an unfair practice or other violation of a PERB-administered statute. Where the investigation of an unfair practice charge results in receipt of conflicting allegations of fact or contrary theories of law, fair proceedings, if not due process, demand that a complaint be issued and the matter be sent to formal hearing to test a novel theory or competing theories of law, so long as the theory advanced is “viable,” i.e. non-frivolous. The Board is necessarily cautious about rejecting allegations involving statutory, decisional, regulatory, or other authority outside PERB’s jurisdiction and special expertise in labor relations, particularly when the area of external law is itself unsettled. more or view all topics or full text. | 42 | 102 | 02/02/18 |
| 2548E | Lake Elsinore Unified School District (Edwards) 1500.03000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; EDUCATION CODE; Education Code Sections Considered by PERB (By Subject) Although the charge relied extensively on the Education Code and other matters outside PERB’s jurisdiction, because it alleged that a public school district employer had denied charging party retirement or other employment benefits to which she was legally entitled because of her protected activity, the matter constitutes an unfair practice allegation within PERB’s legislatively designated field of expertise. (p. 12.) The Office of the General Counsel correctly determined that while PERB has no authority to enforce or order remedies for violations of the Education Code, the Board and its agents may interpret the provisions of the Education Code or other matters of external law where necessary to administer EERA or to harmonize it with external law. (pp. 11-12.) To avoid acting in excess of its authority, PERB has an obligation to determine whether it has jurisdiction over a dispute, regardless of whether the parties themselves have raised the issue.

| 2371E | National Education Association-Jurupa (Norman) 1500.03000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; EDUCATION CODE; Education Code Sections Considered by PERB (By Subject) Permanent teacher dismissal proceedings are governed exclusively by the Education Code, and are beyond the scope of negotiations under EERA. Therefore, it was legally impossible for permanent teacher dismissal proceedings to be a term and condition contained in a CBA between the District and exclusive representative. Therefore, exclusive representative owed no duty of fair representation in the statutory teacher dismissal procedure. more or view all topics or full text. | 38 | 156 | 04/18/14 |
| 2397E | Fremont Unified School District 1500.03000: MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES; EDUCATION CODE; Education Code Sections Considered by PERB (By Subject) In order for a position to be certificated, it must require certification as defined by the Education Code. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst license was not intended to substitute for a credential issued by the State. “Certificated person” is one who possesses a credential or certificate issued by some arm of the state, not a non-state actor. The behavior intervention and assessment functions of the behavioral intervention specialist may be provided by professionals who do not possess a California Commission on Teacher Credentialing or county-issued credential or certificate. more or view all topics or full text. | 39 | 63 | 11/14/14 |
