Motions may be made in writing at any time and motions made during hearings may be stated orally upon the record, or the presiding officer may require that such oral motions be reduced to writing and filed separately.

Notes of Decisions

Jurisdiction; Motion to Dismiss

Although a motion can be made ‘‘in writing at any time,’’ a Motion to Dismiss for lack of jurisdiction is improper where the Charter School Appeal Board properly retained jurisdiction of an appeal even after the District Board acted on a charter application after the expiration of the statutory time period. Philadelphia School District v. Independence Charter School, 774 A.2d 798 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2001); appeal denied 797 A.2d 412 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2002).
