In 2007, the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges amended its Title 5 Regulations to grant conditional approval to proposals for educational centers if certain criteria were met at the time of submission. Among other requirements, a district would need to demonstrate that a proposed center would serve at least 500 full-time equivalent students annually by the third year of operation. In this report, staff considered a proposal by the Los Rios Community College District for conditional approval for an educational center that will be located in the City of Elk Grove. This report is submitted as an information item because the Commission has not yet adopted criteria and guidelines for conditional approval of community college educational centers. After such criteria are adopted, staff will submit an updated analysis of the Los Rios proposal that will contain a staff recommendation. It is anticipated that staff will develop a set of guidelines for consideration by the Commission at its March 2009 meeting.
