§ 74001 Community College Reorganization Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Rules for changing how community college areas are set up started on January 1, 1983.
  • •The same rules used for other schools also apply to community colleges when they want to change their areas.
  • •When the rules mention the 'State Board of Education,' for community colleges, it really means the 'Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges.'

Example

A community college wants to change its boundaries to include more towns.

They have to follow the same rules as other schools, but when the rules say 'State Board of Education,' they actually need to talk to the 'Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges' instead.
