Classified Senate

Charge/Purpose

The purpose of the Classified Senate is to serve in an advisory and recommendation role through participation of its elected and appointed classified professional members in college and district planning, policy, and decision-making processes. Title 5, section 51023.5(a) (4) states that “staff shall be provided with opportunities to participate in the formulation and development of district and college policies and procedures that … have or will have a significant effect on staff.”

Participation in local decision-making affirms that recommendations and positions developed by classified professionals will be given every reasonable consideration prior to action on a matter having a significant effect on them. This aligns with the District Making-Decisions Handbook.

The Classified Senate, or its representatives, shall consult collegially as members of college committees to make recommendations to the College President or his/her designee.
