Board of Trustees
Members of the Austin Community College (ACC) Board of Trustees are elected by the residents of its taxing district and are responsible for establishing policies governing the educational programs and providing high-level guidance and leadership to ensure the College meets the needs of the communities served. Members serve six-year staggered terms so that three trustee positions become open to public vote every two years.
The Board of Trustees has the responsibility for formulating public policy for the operation of the Austin Community College District. It functions as the legislative and policy-making body charged with the governance of the College District. The formulation and adoption of written policy is the basic method by which the Board exercises its leadership.
The Board has one employee, the Chancellor of the College, through whom all operations of the College are reported and related to the board throughout the Chancellor’s employment. The Board delegates to the Chancellor, the function of specifying required actions and designing the detailed arrangements under which the College will be operated. The Board maintains and supervises the College by evaluating information and recommendations concerning the implementation of its policies.
