NORTHERN CALIFORNIA — This week, the Yuba Community College District Board is set to discuss the contract with the new president of Woodland Community College, a selection which is expected to have a significant impact on the district’s campus in Lake County.
The board will meet in closed session at 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 14, with the board holding an annual organization meeting at 4:45 p.m. to select its leadership for the new year before the regular meeting begins at 5 p.m. at Yuba College, 2088 N. Beale Road, Building 300-Flavors, Marysville.
Members of the public can attend the meeting virtually through this Zoom link.
The Zoom Meeting ID is 846 7971 9357; the call-in number is 1-669-900-6833.
The agenda can be found here.
Last month, Dr. Lizette Navarette accepted the job of Woodland Community College president, as Lake County News has reported.
The selection of the new president has been cited as key by district leadership in setting the course not just for Woodland Community College but for the campuses aligned with it, including the Lake County Campus in Clearlake.
Community leaders, students and faculty — past and present — voiced their concerns to the board in early November about how Woodland's administration has starved the Lake County Campus of critical resources.
The Full-time Faculty Association of Yuba Community College District has issued a welcome to Navarette and is hopeful that they can work with her to rebuild trust and morale throughout the district.
The contract calls for Navarette to receive a base salary of $205,569 plus a doctoral stipend of $3,300 for a total contractual salary of $208,869.
