The Board of Trustees is a five-member governing body responsible for establishing policies and providing oversight for the District in accordance with California law and Contra Costa County regulations. Trustees are elected to four-year terms, with elections held every two years on a staggered basis to ensure continuity in governance.
The Board's responsibilities include adopting District policies, approving the annual budget, and establishing the educational programs and curriculum offered to students. The Board acts collectively as a governing body; individual trustees have no authority to act on behalf of the District unless authorized by action of the Board during a regular or special meeting.
Trustees are elected to represent the interests of the entire community and are committed to making decisions that support the success and well-being of all students and the District as a whole.
Each December, the Board elects a President and Vice President during its annual organizational meeting. (Board Bylaw 9100)
