Editorial board split urged for Long Beach colleges
The Long Beach Unified and Community College Districts share a single board. State actions since 1970 have shifted many functions to the college district, leaving only non teaching staff with LBUSD. A bill by Fred Chel seeks a separate Long Beach City College board, urged by the current board and co sponsors George Deukmejian and Mike Cullen. The Coordinating Committee on Continuing Education should be kept to avoid duplicated programs and save taxpayer money.
