Recent California legislation now prescribes a procedure so that all territory in the state will be included in community college districts by Fall 1975. Responsibility for this procedure has been assigned to county committees on school district organization. The State Board of Governors supervises the formation of all new districts. Studies of local areas/regions will be conducted by these county committees. Results of their efforts will be submitted to the Chancellor for review, analysis, and transmittal to the Board of Governors. In making his recommendations to the Board, the Chancellor is guided by a list of criteria structured around legal requirements, educational programs, and operation and administration. Other guidelines are presented for use by county committees in analyzing alternative organization plans. In addition, county committees are defined and their powers, responsibilities, meeting requirements and goals, public support role, outside assistance, and financing are discussed. Various requirements of final plans and proposals are stated along with governing criteria for studies involving more than one county. A suggested committee calendar of events for accomplishing the above is the final inclusion. (AL)
