Cox v. LAUSD
On January 23, 2012, the Los Angeles Superior Court issued a ruling in the matter finding that Ms. Cox did not serve 75% of the 2008-2009 school year. The Court also held that Cox could not tack on the days she claims to have worked while on leave or the “Z-time” extra duty hours she worked upon her return from leave. The Court held that the District’s action to non-reelect Ms. Cox at the end of the 2008-2009 school year was valid.
Ms. Cox appealed to the California Court of Appeal. On July 23, 2013, the California Court of Appeal upheld the District’s action. The Court found that the District complied with the statutory classification scheme and properly non-reelected Ms. Cox because she only worked 74.7% in her second probationary year.
