Chancellor Search Update

We have begun a search process that will culminate with the selection of a new chancellor by the end of December.

In January, I announced that the Board of Trustees would convene a Chancellor's Search Committee and asked for recommendations for faculty, staff, students and members of the public to serve on this advisory committee. Following a public Request for Proposals process, the board also picked an independent executive search firm - Community College Search Services - to assist in the Chancellor's search process.

Peralta Budget Update

Response to State budget cuts

Like every public agency in California, the Peralta Community Colleges have been affected by the state budget cuts in higher education. California's community colleges - unlike K-12 schools that receive funding based on attendance - receive funding based on an allocation from the State Budget and are given an enrollment target. To address the needs of our East Bay community amidst the economic downturn, the Peralta Board of Trustees made a commitment last year to keep educational access open for our community by providing classes to over 3,000 additional students above our funded target.

The District was considering consolidating the College of Alameda Children's Center with the Children's Center at Laney College to reduce operational costs.
