Topics will likely include election of officers and a “refresher workshop” intended to impress upon members their extremely narrow window of responsibility, as seen by the Administration. Actual agenda not yet posted.
The Yavapai Community College District Governing Board will hold a workshop meeting on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, at the Rock House on the Prescott Campus. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and is expected to conclude around 4 p.m. A live stream of the meeting will most likely be available on YouTube.
The agenda for the workshop has not yet been published. However, it is anticipated to include the selection of District Governing Board officers and a “refresher workshop.” These workshops typically involve discussions aimed at emphasizing the Board members’ extremely limited authority as seen through the eyes of the Community College administration. These often include specific restrictions on whom members may communicate with and what they may disclose to their constituents. They also often include warnings against interfering with the College President’s management of the institution and an extremely narrow interpretation of Board policy, as outlined by a consultant selected by the chair with a past relationship with the Community College administration.
Members of the public are generally not permitted to speak during these workshop sessions. However, under Arizona law, the public has the right to attend, listen, record, or videotape the meeting, provided they do not disrupt the proceedings. For more information on these rights, refer to Arizona Attorney General Opinion No. I78-001.
Further updates, including the agenda, will be provided as they become available.
