Accountability

It’s time for clarity and accountability between the Board of Trustees and the Chancellor, ensuring that appropriate authority is delegated while maintaining accountability. This means clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of the Board of Trustees and the Chancellor, ensuring there is a proper system of checks and balances. Luis will also push for regular, public reporting on key performance metrics and progress towards strategic goals. This data-driven approach will allow the community to hold CCSF leadership accountable.

Luis will also advocate for more open communication channels between the administration and the community, so that everyone has a seat at the table. This would include town halls, feedback surveys, and other formats to ensure the community’s needs and concerns are heard and addressed. By elevating these grassroots perspectives, we can build a culture of shared accountability and shared success at CCSF.

Stability

Ensuring CCSF’s financial strength is non-negotiable. If we lose this fight, CCSF can lose its accreditation, or even close. It’s about making informed decisions at the board level and collaborating closely with the Chancellor, faculty, students, and unions to be financially prudent. Let’s secure CCSF’s future with intentional collaborative planning and foresight.

Enrollment and Retention

The pandemic hurt all educational institutions, but CCSF student enrollment remains dangerously low. It’s time to think outside the box. Let’s revitalize our marketing, revitalize our course offerings with innovative programs around emerging technologies, reinvest in pipelines like skilled trades, and provide the support our students need to thrive.

Let’s also partner with our local High Schools to pilot the highly successful Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools (P-TECH) program, which allows students least likely to attend college an opportunity to receive their High School diploma, a credential, or an associate degree.

Community Partnerships

We’re stronger together, and that includes our community at-large. Let’s partner with local businesses, non-profits, and government agencies to enrich the community college experience for everyone. Together, we’ll build a CCSF that’s here for years to come.
