The staff at the Community College League of California had our share of envy with our colleges' "new" features this fall: new CEOs, new residence halls, new programs, and new students. We were inspired to create a new format for the League's news-to-you emails, reducing volume and making information easier to find. Here's what's ahead:

Sierra College student Maya Moseley had no idea that her community college journey would end with a Yale acceptance. But let’s rewind— how did she end up there? Moseley started her journey at Sierra College by getting involved with as much as she could on campus right away.
Action Alert: Regarding the Joint Legislative Audit Committee
The Community College League of California, on behalf of the 116 colleges and 73 districts, is actively advocating for the California Community Colleges before policymakers in Sacramento, and we need your help in this process.
On June 15, the Legislature approved SB 101 (Skinner) by lopsided partisan majorities in the Assembly and Senate to serve as a placeholder while negotiations take place between the leadership and Administration on the final 2023-24 budget act. More procedural than substantive, passage of SB 101 allowed legislators to continue collecting their salaries past the June 15 legal deadline as details on the actual budget are being worked out.
Final discussions are underway for the 2023-24 Budget Act, with the expected result to be approved between the middle to end of June. Following more recent precedence, the Legislature has abandoned the formal Joint Budget Conference Committee in favor of behind-the-scenes negotiations with the Big Three, Governor Newsom, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, and Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins.
