Appearances: 	California School Employees Association by Madalyn J. Frazzini, Attorney, and
Stanley Bransgrove, Labor Relations Representative, for California School Employees
Association & its Chapter 549; School and College Legal Services of California by Nancy L.

DECISION
McKEAG, Member: This case is before the Public Employment Relations Board
(Board) on appeal by the California School Employees Association and its Chapter 549
(Association) of a Board agent's dismissal of its unfair practice charge. 	The unfair practice
charge alleged that the Tamalpais Union High School District violated the Educational
Employment Relations Act (EERA)1 by unilaterally changing a health benefit plan. The
Association alleged that this conduct constituted a violation of EERA section 3543.5(a), (b)
and (c).
EERA is codified at Government Code section 3540 et seq. Unless otherwise indicated, all
statutory references herein are to the Government Code.

By letter dated September 9, 2005, the Association petitioned the Board to withdraw,
without prejudice, its appeal of the dismissal because the parties have developed a mutually
satisfactory resolution of the issues.
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Board finds the withdrawal to be in the
best interests of the parties and to be consistent with the purposes of EERA. 	Accordingly, the
Board grants the withdrawal.
ORDER
The request by the California School Employees Association and its Chapter 549 to
withdraw the unfair practice charge in Case No. SF-CE-2459-E is hereby GRANTED.
Accordingly, the appeal and unfair practice charge are WITHDRAWN WITHOUT
PREJUDICE.
Chairman Duncan and Member Whitehead joined in this Decision.
