RE: Question 2: CCC Governance-What's in the Plan

Background for Question 2: Recommendation 37 addresses community colleges, stating "The California Community College Board of Governors should be reconstituted as a public trust responsible for overall governance, setting system policy priorities, budget advocacy, and accountability for a multi-campus system." (See also 37.1-37.4.) This is intended to decrease fragmentation in the Community College system, by establishing clear functions and authority for the Board of Governors and the local boards of trustees. (Concern for the number of local districts - 72 - is addressed in Recommendation 37.5.)
