(URGENT, 6/22 @4pm) Special Board of Trustee Meeting on Chancellor Search
We have sacrificed to save our classes and our college for the sake of our students and our community. It is imperative that our Trustees honor this commitment by selecting an interim Chancellor who shares our commitment to protecting and growing our college. So we encourage everyone to attend the meeting at 4pm today and to share your thoughts on why our Trustees need to select a new kind of Chancellor, one who will lead the fight for growing CCSF.

(Fri. 6/25, 10am & all day) Board of Supervisors City Budget Meeting
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors need to hear from you this Friday about why they should include CCSF in the budget for the coming year and find a sustainable long-term solution to CCSF’s ongoing budget crisis. CCSF is a majority student of color pillar of San Francisco, and just like our K-12 systems, it is under-funded and needs local support. With our one-year salary agreement, we have sacrificed to give our City’s leaders a year to find a long term funding solution for our community, and now we need them to step up and support CCSF.
Because sharing public comments in Board of Supervisors meetings is onerous, we encourage you to submit a 1 minute video by Thursday at 3pm (share your story here). Fellow faculty leaders will share your video with the Board on Friday. Record your story by clicking on the plus sign under question 1 here: https://hope.xyz/ccsf
The hard truth is there will continue to be a serious gap between what the state is willing to provide and what San Francisco’s residents need. From accessible programs in Registered Nursing & Computer Networking to ESL & Dance, San Franciscans count on City College, and City College needs local support to meet this local demand.
When it comes to our K-12 schools, San Francisco’s voters and leaders have recognized and addressed the problem of under-funding from the state. The Public Education Enrichment Fund (PEEF), established in 2004 and extended in 2014, ensures that San Francisco’s general fund be used to fill in the gap between what the State provides and our City needs.
It is time for San Francisco to make the same sort of investment in its Community College. Without it, City College will continue to move from crisis to crisis and ultimately fail to meet the needs of San Franciscans. We can’t let that happen.
