SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley issued the following statement on the wildfire devastating Ventura County today.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with residents of Ventura County and other parts of Southern California who are affected by the most recent fires. Many students, faculty and staff are impacted, and the state chancellor's office will work with any college forced to cancel classes to minimize any impacts on academic calendars. These colleges will play important roles as the region recovers from this emergency and moves forward.”
