On Thursday, March 17, the Mendocino College Lake Center hosted their first campus event in over two years. Nearly 200 students from Kelseyville High School, Clear Lake High School, Upper Lake High School, Terrace Middle School, and Mountain Vista Middle School were able to attend College Day to explore the Lakeport campus while meeting with college staff and faculty representing a variety of support services and educational programs.
Mendocino College received $188 thousand in grants to support students’ access to basic needs such as food, housing, transportation, healthcare and education.
Assembly Bill 132 (the Postsecondary Education Trailer Bill) provides $100 million in one-time funding to help California community colleges provide comprehensive basic needs services to reduce equity and achievement gaps among traditionally underrepresented student populations across California.
The Mendocino-Lake Community College District (MLCCD) recently locked in $12.7 million of savings for local taxpayers by refinancing a portion of its existing general obligation bonds. MLCCD had previously taken advantage of a similar refinancing opportunity in 2015, saving taxpayers over $36.5 million. The combined savings from both bond refinancings now totals approximately $49.2 million, which will be realized by district taxpayers in the form of lower property tax bills.
“Water is precious, especially here in California, and this project helps shed a positive light on the Russian River — and rivers in general, since they all need our attention.” – Richard McDaniel
The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Program at Mendocino College has been granted full accreditation status by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE).
