School District Violated Labor Code By Rejecting Applicants Based On Expunged Misdemeanor Convictions

A.S. v. Los Angeles Unified Sch. Dist. , 123 Cal. App. 5 th 519 (2026) Two applicants for employment with the Los Angeles Unified School District (one for a part-time after-school program position and the other for a legal secretary position) were rejected based on their prior misdemeanor convictions (for battery and grand theft, respectively), both of which had been expunged pursuant to Cal. Penal Code § 1203.4. The District contended that its duty to protect students required it to screen out applicants with nearly any criminal conviction, notwithstanding expungement. The trial courts in the two separate actions granted summary judgment to the applicants, and the Court of Appeal affirmed in this consolidated appeal, holding that the District violated Cal. Lab. Code § 432.7, which prohibits employers from asking about or utilizing expunged convictions. The Court further held that the statutory exceptions upon which the District relied did not apply because no law required the District to obtain information about, or prohibited it from hiring individuals with, the particular misdemeanor convictions at issue (misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor grand theft).

Harris leads Oxnard to county's first CIF-SS flag football title

Oxnard High delivered Ventura County’s first CIF-Southern Section football championship in 1928. Ninety-eight years later, the flag football team carried on a school tradition. Senior quarterback Ryanna Harris threw for two touchdowns and returned a punt for another score as Oxnard defeated Palos Verdes 18-12 to win the CIF-SS Division 1 championship on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Huntington Beach High. More: Harris, Tutt power Oxnard flag football to CIF-SS Division 1 final One year after Westlake fell in the Division 2 final, Oxnard’s title is the county’s first in the new sport. “It was a beautiful night and we’re coming home champions,” said Oxnard head coach Mark Cordes. Trailing 6-0 late in the first half, top-seeded Oxnard scored 18 straight points to take control. “All year long, we’ve given up big plays and they’ve kind of been our kryptonite,” Cordes said. “Tonight, we got the big plays and just kind of weathered their offense.” Harris found Nona Moreno for a 10-yard TD pass in the final minute of the half to pull Oxnard even, 6-6, at halftime. Tied entering the fourth quarter, Oxnard put together a pair of big plays to grab the title. Harris returned a punt 65 yards
