Decision Type: Administrative Appeal

 * * * OVERRULED by amendment to EERA section 3540.1, subdivision (e), Stats. 2011, Ch. 674, and Center Unified School District (2014) PERB Decision No. 2379 * * *

Description: CSEA filed a unit modification petition to add noon-duty aides to the District’s classified employee bargaining unit.

Disposition: The Board dismissed the petition.  The Board held that noon-duty aides do not have representation rights under EERA because they are excluded by statute from the classified service.  The Board also held that the record failed to establish a community of interest between the noon-duty aides and employees in the classified unit.

In Healdsburg Union High School District and Healdsburg Union School District/San Mateo City School District (1984) PERB Decision No. 375, PERB held that short-term employees have no representation rights under EERA because Education Code section 45103 excludes them from the classified service. Education Code section 45103 also excludes part-time playground positions from the classified service. When the Legislature granted classified status to employees in a part-time playground position who also hold another classified position in the same district, it maintained the exclusion for other part-time playground positions. EERA provides no guidance as to unit placement of employees who are neither certificated nor classified. For these reasons, noon-duty aides have no representation rights under EERA.
