Decision of the Designated. Administrator and Appeal Upon completion of the hearing, the decision of the hearing officer or ALJ shall be communicated in writing to the District and the employee. An employee who wishes to appeal an advisory decision must do so in writing within five (5) days after service of the notice to the employee of the decision. Failure to file a timely appeal shall constitute waiver of appeal rights. Upon appeal, the Board shall review the record of the hearing and the advisory decision of the hearing officer or ALJ and make a final and binding decision regarding whether the employee shall be suspended and for what duration. The burden of proof justifying suspension shall remain with the District; however, the Board’s determination of the sufficiency of the cause for suspension, and its duration, shall be conclusive.
