,ORDER
The
	Reef-Sunset 	Unified
	School
	District
	appeals
	a
	determination
by
	the
	Sacramento
	Regional
	Director 	dismissing
	a
	request 	for
recognition
	filed
	by
	the
	West 	Kings 	County
	Teachers
	Association,
CTA/NEA. 	The
	regional 	director
	determined
	that
	the
	authorization
cards 	submitted
	in
	support
	of 	the 	Association's 	request
	were
	signed
by 	employees
	of
	two
	separate
	school
	districts
	because
	the 	Reef-
Sunset 	Unified
	School
	District will
	not 	in 	fact
	become 	an
	actual
school
	district 	until 	July
	1, 	1980. 	The 	new
	district 	is
	being
formed 	by 	combining 	a
	portion 	of 	the
	Lemoore 	Union High 	School
District
	with 	the
	entirety 	of 	the 	Reef-Sunset 	Union 	Elementary
School
	District.

Public
	Employment
	Relations
	Board 	does
	not
	approve
	or 	dismiss
requests 	for 	recognition.
	Its
	role
	is
	to
	check
	the
	showing
	of
support
	against
	an
	employee
	list
	for
	compliance
	with
	section
	3544(b)
of
	the
	Educational
	Employment
	Relations
	Act
	(EERA), 	and
	notify
	the
employer
	of
	its
	findings.
	However,
	as
	the
	facts 	in
	this
	case
reveal,
	no 	employee
	list
	was
	submitted
	and
	therefore,
	the
	regional
office
	could not
	perform
	this
	function.
	The
	regional
	director
should
	request
	such
	a
	list
	from
	the
	Reef-Sunset 	Unified
	School
District,
	then 	take
	such
	action
	as
	may
	be
	appropriate.
The
	appeal
	is
	granted, 	the
	matter
	remanded
	for 	request
	for
employee
	list.
