The Coast Community College District (CCCD) is a community college district in Orange County, California that offers associate degrees and adult education certificates. It includes three colleges: Coastline Community College, Golden West College, and Orange Coast College. It is headquartered in Costa Mesa.
History
The Coast Community College District was created in 1947 following a special election to establish the district and Orange Coast College.[1] The district became a multi-campus operation following the construction of Golden West College in 1966, following being renamed from the Orange Coast Junior College District.[2]
In 2002, the voters approved Measure C, which was a $365 million bond for improvements at the three campuses.[3] Measure M was a 2012 bond measure that was submitted to the voters in the district. Requesting $698 million for various facilities improvements, the measure was approved by voters.[4]
In 2022, the District forgave $4.5 million of student debt following federal assistance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
Campuses
Coast Community College District has three campuses:
- Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa
- Golden West College in Huntington Beach
- Coastline Community College with three mini campuses in Westminster, Garden Grove, and Newport Beach
Governance
CCCD is governed by a five-member Board of Trustees, each elected to a four-year term.[6] Following a 2017 threat of lawsuit by attorney Kevin Shenkman, the district transitioned from from-district elections, where each trustee would represent and live in a district but still be voted at-large, to by-district elections where only the residents of each trustee area would vote for their trustee.[7][8] The current members of the Board of Trustees are:
