Decision 3005E – Standard Elementary School District
LA-CE-7062-E
Decision Date: February 13, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: A group of employees of the Standard Elementary School District filed a decertification petition with PERB to remove Charging Party Service Employees International Union, Local 521 (SEIU) as the exclusive representative of the District’s classified bargaining unit. SEIU filed a charge alleging that the District violated the Educational Employment Relations Act (EERA) by providing unlawful assistance or breaching its duty of strict neutrality, denying SEIU access to new employee orientations, and unilaterally changing terms and conditions of employment concerning health and welfare premium deductions. PERB’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC) issued a complaint on those allegations. SEIU also alleged that the District violated EERA when it used PERB’s electronic filing portal to file the list of employees in the bargaining unit utilized by OGC in verifying the decertification petitioner’s proof of support for the decertification petition, causing the list to be served on representatives of the group of employees and SEIU. SEIU alleged that by failing to keep the employee list confidential, the District provided unlawful support to the decertification petitioner, and breached its duty of strict neutrality. OGC determined that employee lists are not confidential, and dismissed from the charge SEIU’s allegations relating to the service of that list. SEIU appealed the partial dismissal to the Board.
Disposition: In an non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed OGC’s partial dismissal of the charge.
