The State Center Community College District Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting Tuesday afternoon to discuss appointing a new chancellor.
The special meeting will begin at 3:30 p.m. and precede the regular board meeting scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. Both meetings will be held virtually on Zoom.
The trustees will go into a closed session at the special meeting to talk about the appointment. When they emerge, they are required by the state’s public meeting laws to announce any actions taken during the closed session.
