Coast College trustee joins state policy board

Coast Community College District Trustee Walter G. Howald has been

elected to a statewide policymaking board representing California

community college trustees. Howald, the current president of the

Coast Community College board of trustees, will serve a two-year term

on the Community College League of California’s (CCLC) board of

directors.

The board meets approximately six times a year and takes action on

education policy issues before the state Board of Governors and the

Legislature. The board also provides policy direction to CCLC staff

concerning statewide educational policy, research initiatives,

publications, workshops and conferences.

Howald is a graduate of the UCLA School of Law and president of

his law firm, which has a primary emphasis on civil, business and

trial law. He is also a member of the American, California State and

Orange County Bar associations.

The Huntington Beach City School District continues to ask for

interested community members to apply for appointment to the Asset

Management Committee. The committee will consider action on the

following closed school sites: Burke, Gisler, LeBard and Kettler. The

school district is seeking applicants who represent a diversity in

ethnicity, age and socioeconomic status. The committee will hold two

public meetings in October and will present a recommendation to the

board of trustees.

Applications are available at any school site or by calling the

District Education Center, (714) 964-8888. The deadline to submit an

application is May 20.
