AB 1417 Accountability Report for California Community Colleges. AB 1417 (Chapter 581/2004) requires the Board of Governors (BOG) to provide recommendations, based on information to be developed in a study to be conducted by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, to the Legislature and the Governor regarding the design of a workable structure for the annual evaluation of district-level performance in meeting statewide educational outcome priorities. 

The AB 1417 Accountability Report for Community Colleges (ARCC) study is due to the Legislature and Governor in March 2007. The California Community College System Office is preparing a draft of the study due for release on January 22, 2007.

These presentations are scheduled for January 29 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the North Orange County Community College District office in Anaheim (1830 Romneya Drive, Anaheim, CA 92801) and January 30 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the System Office in Sacramento (1102 Q Street).
