11. Capital Investments Background and History The current mission, vision, and goals for the West Hills Community College District were approved by the Board of Trustees on February 15, 2011. The goals were developed as part of the District’s Strategic Plan. In April 2013, the Board of Trustees participated in a conference on the Role of Trustees and CEOs on the Goal of Student Success. At that conference, the WHCCD Board decided to make a change with regard to student success. The new faculty contract is reflective of our intent to have a more focused response to student success. We have adopted changes with regard to our priority registration process and this has been recognized by the State Chancellor’s Office, which has also implemented the Student Success Initiative of 2012. We introduced the topic of a revised statement of the District’s mission, vision, and goals at the Board meeting in June 2013. Proposed changes were subsequently discussed at Chancellor’s Executive Cabinet meetings in July and August. The proposed changes will run through our governance process and will be reflected in a new Board Policy with regard to the District’s mission.
