Case No. LA-CE-4852-E
Administrative Appeal
PERB Order No. 	Ad-357
November 	8, 	2006
Appearances: 	California Teachers Association by Joseph R. Colton, Attorney, for Victor
Valley College Faculty Association, CTA/NEA; Liebert Cassidy Whitmore by Arlin B.
Kachalia, Attorney, for Victor Valley Community College District.
Before Duncan, Chairman; Shek and Neuwald, Members.
DECISION
NEUWALD, Member: 	This case is before the Public Employment Relations Board
(Board) after an extension of time to file exceptions to the administrative law judge's (ALJ)
proposed decision was granted to the Victor Valley Community College District (District).
The unfair practice charge alleged that the District violated the Educational Employment
Relations Act (EERA) 	by unilaterally increasing required summer session contact hours and
unilaterally increasing the length of summer session individual course meetings for teachers
represented by the Victor Valley College Faculty Association, CTA/NEA (Association). The
Association alleged that this conduct constituted a violation of EERA section 3543.5.
EERA is codified at Government Code section 3540, et seq.

The parties in the above-entitled case, having settled their disputes before the time to
file exceptions expired, request that the proposed decision issued by the ALJ be vacated. As
such, the Association has withdrawn the unfair practice charge and complaint.
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Board has considered the request and
concurs that such action is in the best interests of the parties and the Board and is consistent
with the purposes of EERA. The Board finds it appropriate to grant the Association's request
to withdraw its unfair practice charge and to vacate the decision issued by the ALJ.
ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that the proposed decision in the above case is VACATED and
that the charge and complaint in Case No. LA-CE-4852-E are hereby DISMISSED WITH
PREJUDICE.
Chairman Duncan and Member Shek joined in this Decision.
