DECISION
SHEK, Member: This case is before the Public Employment Relations Board (Board)
on exceptions filed by the Riverdale Joint Unified School District (District) to the proposed
decision of an administrative law judge (ALJ). 	The ALJ concluded that the District violated
the Educational Employer-Employee Relations Act (EERA)1 when it unilaterally implemented
a policy regarding extra-duty coaching assignments, requiring Riverdale High School physical
education (P.E.) teachers to coach two sports.
The District and the Riverdale Teachers Association, CTA/NEA (Association)
informed the Board by letters dated October 16 and October 24, 2006, respectively, that the
District and the Association had mutually reached an agreement on October 12, 2006, upon a
policy for the assignment of coaching duties to high school P.E. teachers. As such, the District
EERA is codified at Government Code section 3540, et seq.

seeks to withdraw its statement of exceptions, and the Association seeks to withdraw its unfair
practice charge with prejudice
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Board finds it appropriate to grant the
District's request to withdraw its statement of exceptions, and the Association's request to
withdraw its unfair practice charge with prejudice. The Board finds the withdrawal of the
District's exceptions and the Association's unfair practice charge to be in the best interests of
the parties and to be consistent with the purposes of EERA. The Board therefore grants the
withdrawal of the District's exceptions and the Association's unfair practice charge with
prejudice.
ORDER
The requests by the Riverdale Unified School District to withdraw its statement of
exceptions, and the Riverdale Teachers Association, CTA/NEA to withdraw its unfair practice
charge, with prejudice, in Case No. SA-CE-2309-E are hereby GRANTED.
Chairman Duncan and Member McKeag joined in this Decision.
