Board of Trustees Policies and Administrative Procedures

Board Policies and Administrative Procedures work hand-in-hand to actualize the vision and priorities of the District.

Back to Board of Trustees

Board Policies

Board Policies (BPs) are guidelines officially adopted by the Board of Trustees that establish standards for the District. They define goals and practices as well as implement federal and state laws and regulations.

Administrative Procedures

Administrative Procedures (APs) provide the rules and guidelines by which BPs are implemented. Administrative Procedures are decided on by the Chancellor, college presidents, and other District administration. APs don’t require Board action to establish or update.

Updating Board Policies & Administrative Procedures

Both Board Policies and Administrative Procedures are routinely reviewed  and updated as necessary to keep current with changes in laws or to clarify language.
