§ 14-6.418. Hearing procedure.

(a)

At the hearing before the board, the appellant will be given the opportunity to present oral and written testimony and other evidence, and to present oral and written argument.

(b)

The hearing need not be conducted according to technical judicial rules relating to evidence, witnesses and discovery. Any relevant evidence may be admitted if it is the sort of evidence on which responsible persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs, regardless of the existence of any common law or statutory rule that might make improper the admission of the evidence over objection in civil actions. Irrelevant or unduly repetitious evidence may be excluded. The board may, from time to time, adopt procedures to govern hearings in further detail.

(c)

The hearing may be continued from time to time upon the request of a party to the hearing and upon a showing of good cause.
