IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED SCHOOL DISTRICT OF ORANGE COUNTY, FLORIDA, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D13-3507 ORANGE COUNTY CLASSROOM TEACHERS ASSOCIATION, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed August 15, 2014 Administrative Appeal from the School District of Orange County, Florida. John C. Palmerini, of Orange County School Board, Orlando, for Appellant. Tobe M. Lev, of Egan, Lev & Siwica, P.A., Orlando, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. School District of Orange County, Florida ( SDOC ) appeals a final order issued by the Public Employees Relation Commission ( PERC ) adopting the hearing officer s conclusion that SDOC committed an unfair labor practice against the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association. Finding no error, we affirm. We write, however, to address the posting requirement found in paragraph 2c of the order. Given the advancements in modern technology, we question the practicality of requiring the actual posting of notices. Nevertheless, on the record before us, we cannot determine that PERC abused its discretion in ordering SDOC to post a notification in this case. Despite its argument to the contrary on appeal, SDOC put on no evidence below regarding cost, lack of necessity, burdensomeness, or impracticality to show that the posting requirement was an unnecessary expense in this case. AFFIRMED. PALMER, EVANDER and BERGER, JJ., concur. 2
