Burgess v. Coronado Unified School Dist. CA4/1
Plaintiff and appellant Randall Burgess appeals a judgment denying his petition for writ of mandate in which he sought an order reinstating him to his position as a teacher at Coronado Unified School District (District). Burgess contends neither the Education Code nor District's collective bargaining agreement with the Coronado Teachers Association permitted District to place him on involuntary administrative leave without following statutory suspension and termination procedures, which require a charge of misconduct followed by an opportunity to address those charges in a hearing. He maintains the trial court erred when it reasoned he did not meet his burden to show District's action placing him on paid administrative leave was an illegal suspension, violated the Education Code, or did not follow the collective bargaining agreement's procedures.
