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.
