Decision A368E – Los Angeles Unified School District
LA-CE-5072-E
Decision Date: November 15, 2007
Decision Type: Administrative Appeal
Description: Employee filed a motion to re-open the record after her case was dismissed. Charging party mistakenly listed her witness on the notice of appearance form. As a result, the Board agent’s warning letter was sent to the witness and charging party did not receive the warning letter before the charge was dismissed.
Disposition: The Board found the request was more properly considered an appeal of the dismissal of her charge. The Board found good cause to excuse the late filed appeal and remanded the case to the General Counsel’s Office to allow the charging party an opportunity to file an amended charge.
