Decision 3046E – Twin Rivers Unified School District
SA-CE-3246-E
Decision Date: July 28, 2026
Decision Type: PERB Decision (Non-Precedential)
Description: Charging Party Ninad Bhatt appealed the dismissal of his unfair practice charge by PERB’s Office of the General Counsel (OGC). Bhatt filed a charge against Respondent Twin Rivers Unified School District, and subsequently filed two amended charges. In the second amended charge, Bhatt alleged that the District violated EERA by retaliating against him for filing the charge with PERB, and issued Bhatt a directive that interfered with protected rights. OGC issued a warning letter stating that Bhatt’s allegations did not state a prima facie violation of EERA. Bhatt then filed a third amended charge. OGC found that the third amended charge did not correct the deficiencies described in the warning letter and dismissed the allegations. Bhatt appealed the dismissal.
Disposition: In a non-precedential decision, the Board affirmed the dismissal of the retaliation allegation, without leave to amend. However, the Board reversed the dismissal of the interference allegation and remanded the matter to OGC for issuance of a complaint on the interference allegation.
