Chabot-Las Positas Community College District

What Chabot-Las Positas Community College District does

Chabot-Las Positas Community College District (CLPCCD) is a public community college district organized under California Education Code, governing two comprehensive community colleges: Chabot College in Hayward and Las Positas College in Livermore, serving students, working adults, regional employers, and K-12 partner districts across Alameda County and the Tri-Valley region. The district delivers associate degrees, certificates in over 100 programs, career technical education, university transfer pathways, and the largest college-based apprenticeship program in the Bay Area (6th largest in California). Educational delivery runs on Canvas Learning Management System for online and hybrid courses, with Ellucian Banner/Cloud providing the student information and ERP backbone accessed via the MyPortal student portal.

CLPCCD's revenue model is multi-stream and characteristic of California public community colleges: the primary funding source is state apportionment tied to full-time equivalent student (FTES) enrollment formulas, supplemented by student tuition and fees set by the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office, voter-approved property tax revenue from general obligation bonds (Measure A — $950 million passed 2016 at 65% voter approval, plus Measure B), competitive grants (including an $18.1 million award), and economic development / contract education revenue from workforce training, OSHA certification, and apprenticeship programs operated through the Economic Development and Contract Education (EDCE) arm.

The district is governed by a seven-member elected Board of Trustees with Ron Gerhard as Chancellor, and operates with 1,001–5,000 employees across its district office in Dublin, two campuses, and the EDCE offices in Pleasanton. CLPCCD is embedded in regional partnership ecosystems including the Bay Area K-16 Collaborative, East Bay College Agile Network (EBCAN), and i-GATE, and has been recognized with Las Positas ranked 4th best community college in the nation and Chabot named a 2025 Pathway Champion by the Campaign for College Opportunity. The 2022–2023 Economic Impact Report attributed $490.7 million in alumni-driven added income and 4,326 supported jobs to the regional economy.
