Work is underway to find the next leader for the community colleges in the Fresno area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The State Center Community College District (SCCD) is holding public forums this week to collect input in the chancellor search.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The backstory: SCCCD Chancellor Carole Goldsmith announced last November that she will retire in September.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The SCCCD board selected Goldsmith in late 2021 to lead the district after five years of being the President of Fresno City College.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, the SCCCD board loaned Goldsmith to the California Community College Chancellor\u2019s Office for the remainder of her term.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What we\u2019re watching: The district will hold several forums this week on Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n
Forums will take place concurrently at Madera Community College and Reedley College on Wednesday at 9 a.m. and again at 1 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the district will hold forums at Clovis Community College and Fresno City College at 9 a.m. and also at 1 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The district will also hold an online forum over Zoom on Thursday at 3 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Search consultants Jill Board and Charlene Dukes will facilitate the forums and will be available to answer questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
