The Governing Board of the Monterey Peninsula Community College District adopts
policies to govern the District in compliance with laws. Policies define goals and
delegate authority to the Superintendent/President. Administrative procedures implement
policies, detailing operations and accountability, and are developed collaboratively
without requiring Board approval. Laws and agreements prevail.
Governing Board Goals
- Prioritize and support initiatives that improve student access, academic success, retention, completion, transfer, workforce readiness, and educational quality throughout the District.
- Continue to develop, prioritize, and support Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, Anti-Racism, and Accessibility (IDEAA) policies, practices, and measurable outcomes throughout the District, with particular attention to equitable student success and inclusive campus climate.
- Support and monitor institutional effectiveness, fiscal sustainability, academic integrity, and student learning outcomes through data-informed decision-making and regular review of institutional performance indicators.
- Provide students and employees with a safe, innovative, inclusive, accessible, and effective learning and working environment across all District locations.
- Maintain and strengthen effective governance practices by clearly upholding the distinction between Board governance responsibilities and District operational administration, consistent with Board Policies and Administrative Procedures.
- Develop and support an effective, collaborative, communicative, and accountable working relationship with the Superintendent/President through regular evaluation, strategic dialogue, and shared institutional priorities.
- Strengthen relationships, visibility, communication, and engagement throughout all Trustee areas and regional communities to ensure broad representation and responsiveness to community needs.
- Participate in ongoing trustee professional development opportunities focused on governance, Brown Act compliance, ethics, accreditation, fiscal oversight, educational quality, student success, and effective board practices to improve Board effectiveness.

Who’s My Trustee?
There are five trustee areas within the Monterey Peninsula Community College District.
Following each U.S. Census, trustee area boundaries are evaluated to ensure equal
population distribution within the allowed 10% deviation. Any changes approved by
the trustees are submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice for preclearance, as
required by the U.S. Voting Rights Act.
Copies of documents related to past redistricting processes are available for public
review in the Office of the Superintendent / President.
