This item will appear on two separate Special Public Board Meeting agendas, and no final Governing Board decisions will be made during these meetings.
The two Special Public Board Meetings are scheduled as follows:
- Monday, June 24, 2024, 5:30-7:30 p.m., Gila Pueblo Campus, 8274 S Six Shooter Canyon Rd, Room 522, Globe, AZ.

The public is invited to participate by providing testimony and participating in discussion for up to three (3) minutes per speaker. The total time allotted for this public meeting shall be two (2) hours and members of the public shall be permitted to participate on a first-come, first-served basis.
This is a monumental step in securing the future of post-secondary education in Gila County,” stated Dr. Jan Brocker, GCPCCD Governing Board President. “Not only does this public meeting move us closer to being recognized as an independent, fully organized community college by the State of Arizona, it also enables us to listen to related questions and concerns within our communities.”
At a subsequent Special Board Meeting (via Zoom) beginning at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, the GCPCCD Governing Board will consider approval of a resolution to convert to and form an independent community college district, satisfying an additional requirement as outlined in A.R.S. §151402.01(A)(5), Alternative organization for community college districts.
