At Wednesday’s annual membership meeting, statewide Trustees approved our 2022 Legislative Platform. Read about it here. In addition to setting state priorities, this year we added federal priorities and Guiding Principles. The Principles will be reviewed each year and will serve as the foundation on which legislative priorities are built and decisions are made, they are:
-
One Voice
-
Local Governance
-
Bipartisan Collaboration
-
Quality Workforce Training
-
Equitable Education
-
Strong Education Partnerships
-
Local Elections
-
Safe and Secure Campus Environments
We look forward to working with all of you to uphold our values and achieve our priorities this coming year.
