The Charging Party is an Individual (I), Employee Organization (O), Employer (E): I 40. Name Lonnie Simmons 42. Telephone Number 315-427-7627 41.

Simmons has requested an administrative closure for 10 days, the purpose of the closure is to attempt to resolve the dispute, substantial progress has been made already toward resolution, and that Attorney Hickernell needs to connect with his REA clients who are likely teaching class at the time of the investigation in order to verify whether the settlement is acceptable. Mr.

With respect to the pending litigation matter, we understand from Attorney Bowen that the Board was meeting to consider settlement of a litigation matter. Attorney Bowen stated to our Office that had the Board publicly disclosed the existence of its settlement discussion, the disclosure would have been detrimental to the Board's litigating position.
