Hibbing Education Ass'n v. Public Employment Relations Board

OPINION

LANSING, Judge.

This is an appeal by the Hibbing Education Association (Association) from the orders of respondent Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), affirming a unit determination made by the director of the Bureau of Mediation Services (BMS). The director found that the Title I paraprofessionals who were performing duties in the Hibbing School District, Independent School District No. 701, were not “teachers” within the meaning of Minn.Stat. § 179.63, subd. 13 (1982), and therefore should be assigned to a separate bargaining unit. We reverse and remand.
