Appeals

The Education Code provides that a local educational agency (LEA) which receives an apportionment significant audit exception, or owes a penalty arising from an audit exception, may appeal such exceptions.  There are two types of appeals.  The first, a summary review, is conducted by the Executive Officer acting independently of the Panel.  The second is a formal appeal, which affords the LEA an opportunity to present evidence at a hearing.  EAAP accepts filing via email to filing@eaap.ca.gov, or by mail to 770 L Street, Suite 1100, Sacramento 95814.
(An emailed request may be the most reliable way to ensure that the deadline is met.)
