Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 38, September 20, 2024
A. A "hearing officer" means a person assigned to preside at a hearing held pursuant to Articles 10 and 11 and whose duty it is to assure that proper procedures are followed and that the rights of the parties are protected.
B. A hearing officer shall be:
1. Unbiased - not prejudiced for or
against any party in the hearing;
2. Disinterested - not having any personal or
professional interest which would conflict with his/her objectivity in the
hearing; and
3. Independent - may
not be an officer, employee or agent of the contractor or governing board, or
of any other public agency involved in the dispute to be settled. A person who
otherwise qualifies to conduct a hearing is not an employee of the contractor
or governing board solely because he or she is paid by the parties to serve as
a hearing officer.
C. A hearing officer shall have:
1. A minimum of
three years of verified experience in the practice of law; or
2. A minimum of three years of verified
experience in school procurement or school facilities management and a minimum

course or program in conducting a hearing or arbitration may substitute for the
one year of verified experience in conducting hearings.
