This standing committee, made up of three members, focuses on the District’s legislative agenda, aligning Board policies with state regulations, and initiates data collection to inform policy recommendations.
Key Responsibilities
- Developing recommendations for the District’s legislative agenda.
- Reviewing potential revisions to Board Policies to align with government and education code updates.
- Catalyze policy discussions with the Board by recommending data collection requests for the Chancellor.
- Ensures the Board receives accurate and relevant briefings on legislative developments impacting the District.
Strategic Schedule
The committee convenes quarterly to align with pivotal phases of the legislative cycle and the Community College League of California’s biannual board policy recommendation updates.
The first meeting coincides with the start of the legislative cycle and sets forth the District's legislative and advocacy priorities. To ensure the District’s prompt integration of required policy revisions, subsequent meetings align with the release of the CCLC’s board policy updates in April and November. A fourth meeting in the summer finalizes the District’s advocacy priorities before the legislative session concludes.
Special meetings may take place as needed to refine advocacy strategies or policy recommendations in response to dynamic political or policy developments.
