The Classified Senate is the official employee group for permanent classified employees at MiraCosta College. As such, the Senate represents employees and their interests of the Classified Senate in matters of collegial governance at the district and state-wide levels.
Leadership
The Classified Senate embraces a proactive role in collegial governance and effectively provides leadership and representation in all issues involving its constituents and the District. In addition, the Classified Senate represents its constituents through the negotiations of working conditions and compensation agreements using the meet-and-confer process. This process results in the Classified Senate Employee Manual. The manual houses these conditions and its intention to provide basic information on current policy and procedure and is meant to be read in conjunction with board policy and state and federal law. Elected Executive Officers and Senators serving on the Classified Senate value, advocate, and participate in MiraCosta's collegial governance process with colleagues from the associated student body, administration and faculty, as set forth by the college's Board of Trustees.
