About the St. Louis Community College Board of Trustees
The STLCC Board of Trustees consists of seven members who represents the four subdistricts
of the College service area. Subdistricts 1 and 4 are the two large subdistricts,
each represented by two trustees. Subdistricts 2 and 3 are smaller, each represented
by one trustee. The Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education appoints one
trustee. District voters elect board members periodically for six-year terms.
The board is responsible for determining the policies of the College within the legal framework established by statutes of the state of Missouri. The board makes all final decisions concerning employment, termination of services, expenditure of funds, contracts, establishment of new programs, student fees, tax levies and construction of facilities. Regular board meetings are open to the public.
