San Bernardino Community College District

👩‍⚕️ Meet Natalie Garcia! She works in health care as a Certified Nursing Assistant and serves as SBCCD student trustee from San Bernardino Valley College.

She has an update for local neighbors and students: Measure Y is on the November 3 ballot.

What’s Measure Y?

🏥 If approved, Measure Y would repair and update the classrooms, labs and facilities where future nurses, firefighters and skilled trades workers train.

💵 The cost would be about $25 per year for every $100,000 of assessed property value, generating approximately $56 million annually while bonds are outstanding.

🔍 Local funds. Citizen oversight. Public spending reports. Annual independent audits.

🫶 $4,000 for the San Bernardino Valley College food pantry means more groceries and basic-needs support for students who need it.

Thank you to Arrowhead United Way for making that support possible and for standing with SBVC students.

We were glad to recognize the partnership at tonight’s SBCCD Board of Trustees meeting.

✨ We have officially kicked off the Fall Semester at San Bernardino Valley College and Crafton Hills College!

Our Board of Trustees, Chancellor, faculty, staff, and students came together last week to celebrate a new year and the work ahead, expanding access to affordable, high-quality education and preparing the next generation of Inland Empire leaders, professionals, first responders, and skilled workers.

Today, Board Chair Dr. Nathan Gonzales spoke to the Loma Linda Chamber of Commerce and met Deborah and her daughter, Samantha.

Deborah attended Valley College. Samantha is taking classes at Crafton Hills College.

As we talked, Samantha shared that algebra never really clicked for her until she enrolled in Professor Jodi Hanley’s class. Today, she’s taking calculus and earning straight A’s.

Stories like theirs remind us that opportunity doesn’t always require going far away. Sometimes it’s right down the street.

For generations, local families have relied on Valley and Crafton because we are affordable, accessible, and deeply connected to the communities we serve. Since 1926, our students have gone on to become nurses, firefighters, first responders, educators, business owners, and highly skilled technicians who help power the Inland Empire’s economy.

We hear stories like this everywhere we go, and we never get tired of hearing them. In fact, two out of every three people in our community have some connection to one of our colleges. Deborah and Samantha are two of them. 💚💛💙
