Board Policies and Administrative Procedures
Introduction
The Board of Trustees of the Santa Barbara Community College District has adopted
the District Mission Statement and the following Board policies to describe the operations
of the Board and broadly govern the District consistent with legal requirements and
the Board’s responsibilities. The authority for these policies arises from California
law including the 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 on institutional success and to foster public understanding and support of the
District and its educational programs. These policies apply to 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, but not all, 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 associated
administrative procedures are included here.
Board Action
6/23/2016 Repeal of Previous Board Policies, Administrative Procedures and Related Policy Documents. The Board policies and administrative procedures that have been adopted through this
comprehensive process replace and repeal any and all former District policies and
procedures, including related policy documents and appendices (such as the Rules and
Regulations for Classified Employees of the Santa Barbara Community College District,

available on this Board Policies and Administrative Procedures webpage constitute the official, up-to-date policies. Accompanying administrative procedures
are also available on the webpage.
