Board Policies and Administrative Procedures
Introduction The Board of Trustees of the Santa Barbara Community College District has adopted
the District Mission Statement and Board policies to describe the operations of the
Board, and to broadly govern the District consistent with legal requirements and the
Board’s responsibilities. The authority for these policies arises from California
law including Education and Government Codes, Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations,
and accreditation standards.
In adopting these policies, the Board intends to focus the District upon its mission
and institutional success, and to foster public understanding and support of the District
and its educational programs. These policies apply and provide direction to the District,
its employees, and the Board as they carry out their responsibilities.
Board policies implement and interpret the law and applicable standards. They are
not intended to, and cannot conflict with or override, the law. If a conflict arises,
the applicable law prevails. Similarly, the District has collective bargaining agreements
with many of its employees that may alter or expand upon aspects of these policies
to the extent allowed and agreed.
Board policies do not cover all laws and requirements that apply to the District.
Many of the policies repeat some aspects of existing law in order to highlight areas
of institutional interest or facilitate understanding of requirements that govern
the operations of the District. Board policies also supplement and provide more specific
direction on important topics than the law or accreditation standards alone provide.
Many Board policies have associated administrative procedures that contain further
detail on implementing Board policies. All Board Policies and Administrative Procedures
are included here.
The policies and procedures available below are currently under review. Please contact
the Office of the President at rsboss@sbcc.edu for more information about Board Policies and Administrative Procedures.

and administrative procedures.
