Decision 3023E – Los Angeles Unified School District
LA-CE-7046-E
Decision Date: May 20, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Charging Party Verita Lynee Downing alleged that Respondent Los Angeles Unified School District violated the Educational Employment Relations Act by not re-electing her to a position as a Career Technical Education (CTE) teacher in retaliation for protected activity. Downing also alleged that the District had a pattern of failing to re-elect other CTE educators. PERB’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC) issued Downing a warning letter stating her charge did not allege a prima facie case and she could not bring a charge on behalf of other CTE teachers unless they were added as named charging parties. The warning letter offered Downing an opportunity to amend her charge. Downing amended her charge, however OGC determined that she had not cured the defects outlined in the warning letter and therefore dismissed the charge. Downing appealed.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed OGC’s dismissal without leave to amend.
