Following the Board of Trustees’ action at the March 10, 2026, meeting to enter a reorganization period, this page provides an overview of the District reorganization planning framework, the guiding principles, and opportunities for employees to provide input. The final organizational structure will be presented to the Board of Trustees for approval on May 11, 2027.
The goal of the reorganization is to create a streamlined, student-centered organizational structure that reflects current and future student enrollment and fiscal conditions, and protects access, completion, and core instructional capacity to achieve long-term financial sustainability.
Mission-Driven - All decisions will be grounded in SRJC’s mission, ensuring we continue to provide high-quality education, support student success, and serve our community's needs.
Student and Employee Centered - The reorganization prioritizes how we best serve today’s students, while also recognizing the importance of supporting employees, their workloads, and their ability to effectively support students.
Alignment with Strategic Plan - The reorganization advances the District’s Strategic Plan by supporting implementation and long-term impact.
Fiscally Sustainable - Decisions will align with the District’s budget-reduction framework to ensure long-term financial health and stability.
Data-Informed Decisions - Reorganization decisions will be based on data to ensure resources are aligned with student and community needs.
Equity & Access - The process will prioritize equitable access to programs and services, ensuring that all students can engage with SRJC regardless of location, schedule, or modality.
