NORTH COAST, Calif. – The Mendocino College Board of Trustees has approved an adjustment to the contract with Superintendent/President Arturo Reyes.
The action extends his current contract through June 30, 2020.
An amendment to the current contract will include a salary increase to bring Reyes' salary in line with the mean California Community College single district average of $228,000.
The new contract also includes an annual 5-percent salary increase beginning with the 2017-18 fiscal year.
“President Reyes has done a great job of providing the leadership Mendocino College needed during challenging fiscal times,” Trustee Dave Geck said. “His focus on supporting staff ensures success for all students, which has been key to making Mendocino College a shining star in the community college system. I look forward to his future guidance as we expand the programs and the territory served by our wonderful college.”
Reyes has been the superintendent/president at Mendocino College since January 2013 and was recently a finalist in the search for a new superintendent/president at Palomar College in Southern California.
Mendocino College officials said much has been accomplished in the last few years and they're looking ahead to an even brighter future.
Recent college accomplishments under Reyes’ leadership include full reaffirmation of accreditation; increased budget reserves to more than 18 percent; increased enrollments; the hiring of 34 staff, faculty and managers over the past year; and the establishment of strong partnerships with all regional high schools.
The college also has provided instruction to the coast community, attained Hispanic Serving Institution status, provided additional professional development funds for faculty and staff, and increased community presence at the college.
In addition, the transfer of territory and acquisition of the Educational Center in Fort Bragg from College of the Redwoods to Mendocino College is in the final stages with official transfer date set for July 1, 2017.
