VISION: Provide Classified staff a voice to participate in the initiation, development, and evaluation of all District policies and procedures that support educational programs and services for students at Grossmont and Cuyamaca Colleges.

MISSION: GCCCD Classified Senate promotes the valuable contributions made by Classified staff in creating an environment that will lead to the greatest level of student success. The Senate encourages the exchange of ideas, understanding, and cooperation between Classified staff, faculty, administrators and students in the best interest of enriching the educational environment.

Our Classified Senate was established in 1992. The Classified Senate organization exists to help the classified employee participate in decision-making (shared-governance). Participatory governance means that all 'stake-holders' (faculty, students, staff, administrators...) have an opportunity to understand and contribute voice regarding the health of the campuses/district system. To do that,  staff participate effectively on committees and councils. Committee meetings are important vehicles for budget decisions, policies and procedures, among other issues.  The Classified Senate ensures that participation (voice), communication, and clarification is provided for our colleagues. 

Staff are the first and last line of operations of a community college; the mechanism that keep our community colleges working smoothly for students, faculty, and the community. With years of combined experience and training, this resource can only be utilized properly by active input in the participatory governance process.

The Classified Senate will help all staff become familiar and comfortable with the organizational governance structure at the district, understand the decision-making process, government/education code, and other laws that affect the way that classified staff interface with, and support, our institution and educational community.
