The Palomar Community College District has proposed to establish a new educational center in the northern region of the District. The California Postsecondary Education Commission recommends approval of the proposed center. The information in the Palomar Community College District Needs Study satisfies all Commission criteria for establishing a state-approved educational center. The case for a new educational center was strengthened by evidence of an impending deficit in enrollment capacity within the district, a well-constructed district-wide plan for addressing growth, and voter passage of a bond measure to cover capital costs for a new facility.
