Bernardo's Goals/Initiatives

Maintain Prudent Fiscal Management & Integrity

Our colleges and District receive “clean audits” demonstrating sound financial operations and planning and program management. We maintain sufficient reserves to see us through the next ‘great recession’ and/or any projected state deficits in the higher education budget.

Student Access & Success

I will continue to work for increased access and success for our students. I support the expansion of dual enrollment programs so that our high school students can earn college credit.

I will continue my advocacy at the state level for additional four-year applied baccalaureate degree programs at our community colleges. This prepares our students for high-demand, high-wage paying jobs and provides a skilled labor force to meet the regional economic and workforce development needs.

Expand Our Connections with the Communities We Serve

I represent that part of our district name – community – and will ensure strong connections between our colleges and our communities, educational partners and the business and industry sectors that we serve.
