Review Of A Proposal To Establish The North Natomas Educational Center

In this report, the Commission considers a proposal by the Los Rios Community College District to establish an educational center in a rapidly growing and developing area of Sacramento called North Natomas. The center would be situated on 6.5 acres of land approximately 6 miles north of downtown Sacramento. The Commission finds that the information contained in the district's Needs Study meets all of the requirements outlined in the Commission's guidelines for the review of new educational centers. The Commission, therefore, concurs with the recommendation of the Community College Board of Governors that the proposed North Natomas Educational Center be established as a state-approved off-campus center of American River College and that it become eligible immediately to compete for State capital outlay and support budget funding. Natomas Educational Center--Projected Operational Costs are appended.
