Board Extends Time for Filing Amicus and Responsive Briefs Regarding Jurisdiction Over Charter Schools

On February 4, 2019, the National Labor Relations Board invited the filing of briefs in KIPP Academy Charter School, 02-RD-191760, to allow parties and interested amici an opportunity to address whether the Board should exercise its discretion to decline jurisdiction over charter schools as a class under Section 14(c)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and, therefore, modify or overrule the 2016 Hyde Leadership Charter School—Brooklyn, and Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School decisions.

To aid in the consideration of the issues raised in the above-named case, the Board has now extended the time for filing amicus and responsive briefs in this matter (the deadline for filing briefs on review was previously extended).  Parties now have until March 6, 2019 to file briefs on review and interested amici now have until March 20, 2019 to file amicus briefs.  The deadline for parties to file responsive briefs has been extended to April 3, 2019.
