Summary

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, who, among other things, appoint the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges as the chief executive officer of the board. This bill would require the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to convene a group of experts in career technical education, business, or industry. The bill would require the chancellor to ensure that the group of experts includes individuals who are community college faculty members or administrators, and representatives of private sector business or industry. The bill would require the group of experts to research and recommend ways to address the technical, policy, and fiscal issues related to implementing differential funding for credit-bearing high-cost, high-demand courses and programs, including career technical education offered at California Community College campuses, that regions deem valuable to their economies. The bill would require the group of experts to report its findings to the Legislature, on or before January 1, 2016.
