Edgar v. Chula VistaElementary School Dist.
The Chula Vista Elementary School District (District) terminated Garry Edgar from his job as an elementary school custodian. Edgar petitioned for an administrative writ of mandate, contending the District violated his procedural rights and the termination was not supported by the evidence. (Code Civ. Proc., 1094.5.) The superior court granted the petition based on its conclusion that the District did not comply with governing procedural rules. The court issued a writ ordering the District to conduct a new hearing and to issue express findings in support of its decision, and to reinstate Edgar to his previous position.
The District appeals. Court affirm. Substantial evidence supports the trial court's conclusion that the District did not comply with applicable procedural rules before it terminated Edgar. The record further establishes that the school board erred in failing to issue findings to explain its termination decision. In light of this record, Court conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering the school board to conduct a new hearing and issue factual findings, and ordering Edgar reinstated until proper proceedings are held.
