MARTINEZ, CA – Contra Costa Community College District (CCCCD) Governing Board president Timothy J. Farley submitted his resignation effective February 26, 2018, due to a pressing personal family matter.
In his letter, Farley said it was an honor to serve the students and families of Contra Costa County as well as the residents of Ward III. He was proud of the work the Governing Board had done to protect the interests of undocumented students, and the focus on student success.
“His personal experience as a Diablo Valley College graduate helped the District transform the lives of our students”, says chancellor Fred Wood. “I want to thank Mr. Farley for his service to the District.”
The Governing Board will hold a special meeting on Monday, March 12, 2018, beginning at 6:00 p.m., to discuss the options to fill the vacancy including a special election or making an appointment.
The Governing Board is made up of a student trustee, and 5 trustees elected by voters in 5 geographic divisions. Ward III includes Pacheco, and parts of Clayton, Concord, Martinez, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, and Walnut Creek.

Great news. Farley was an over reaching democrat trying desperately to make his way up the ladder. Better for everyone that his priorities had to change.
The less democrats holding office in California, the sooner we can get back to our former Golden State status.
