The Board of Trustees Candidate Forum will be taking place tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Old Administration Building, Room 251. The candidates running for the State Center Community College District board of trustees will be taking questions on a variety of topics. Students, faculty, and local citizens will get a chance to ask questions.
The forum is organized by the Associated Student Government and also the SCFT local union. The event will be moderated by Parliamentarian Travis Childress and Trustee Garrett Hale.
The Board of Trustees is the legal governing board of SCCCD and oversees the district’s policies and goals by approving financial, educational, faculty, administrative, infrastructure and other projects of SCCCD.
ASG senator Juliana Phoukhao encourages students to see who is running for trustee. “Students should know who is representing them,” said Phoukhao.
Some topics to be discussed will be student education policies and priorities, campus and/or public safety, excessive administrative regulations imposed on faculty, faculty/administration professional development and or maintenance issues and personal strategies for increasing student and faculty educational success.
Doors open at 6:30 pm and there will be a mixer for those who arrive early.
