SDCCD: SDCCD, San Diego Unified To Hold Joint Meeting March 15

Press release from San Diego Community College District:

March 7, 2022

Increasing collaboration around educational pathways to careers and college will be
the focus of discussion when the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) and
San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) governing boards hold their annual joint
session on Tuesday, March 15 at 5 p.m.

The meeting is an opportunity to review progress towards joint board goals, which
includes ensuring diversity, equity, inclusion and access as San Diego’s two largest
educational institutions strive to create more opportunities for local students. Among
these goals are strengthening alignments between the two districts and expanding early
college credit opportunities for high school students, such as dual enrollment. A status report will also be provided on the San Diego Promise free tuition program,
which launched in 2016. Initially limited to graduating high school seniors, donor
support has allowed the program to also accept foster youth, formerly incarcerated
adults returning to the classroom, veterans, and DACA recipients. 

The March 15 meeting will be conducted in a hybrid format with the boards meeting
in person and the public participating via the SDCCD’s YouTube channel. This is the
11th joint session of the two governing boards since 2011. The meeting will be moderated
by Dr. Carl Luna, Political Science professor, and director for the Institute for
Civil Civic Engagement.
