§ 33015 Board Decision Finality Rules

• •If the board makes a decision after a hearing, that decision is final and cannot be changed just because of small mistakes or problems that happened during the process.
• •If you don’t speak up or complain about something during the hearing, you can’t complain about it later. It’s like you agreed with what happened.
• •You have to say what’s wrong right when the hearing is happening, or you lose your chance to fix it.

Imagine you go to a school meeting where they decide to change the rules for lunch time. During the meeting, they forget to ask for your opinion, but you stay quiet.

If you don’t say anything during the meeting, you can’t later complain that they didn’t listen to you. The new lunch rules will stay, and it’s like you agreed to them by not speaking up.
