4CD's Strategic Plan 2025-2030
The Contra Costa Community College District (4CD) Strategic Plan aligns and supports the work of all District sites — including Contra Costa College, Diablo Valley College, Los Medanos College, and the District Office — by providing a shared direction and fostering coordinated efforts across the entire District.
4CD's 2025-2030 Strategic Plan provides a unifying framework to guide collaborative decision-making, align efforts across all District sites, and drive positive change to achieve meaningful results for students, employees, and the communities we serve.
4CD will pursue four goals that reflect and advance its mission and values. These goals provide a framework for aligning Districtwide efforts with our commitment to student success, equity, and continuous improvement.
Each goal is supported by four priorities that focus and coordinate action, along with suggested strategies and progress measures that identify specific steps and promote measurable outcomes. Together, these elements ensure that our mission and values are translated into meaningful, sustained impact across 4CD.
Economic and Community Impact
4CD contributes about $2.3 billion to the Contra Costa County economy every year and supports nearly 24,000 local jobs. Modern college facilities help students prepare for careers in nursing, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and public safety. These programs strengthen the local workforce and help keep graduates working in the communities where they live.

Accountability You Can Trust
The District is committed to using public funds responsibly.
The Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee, comprised of local residents and taxpayers, meets quarterly and reviews all spending. Each year, independent audits confirm that bond funds are used as promised and that the District continues to deliver strong financial management.

Looking Ahead
The District's Facilities Plans for CCC, DVC, and LMC identify significant facility and infrastructure needs across all three colleges. While recent bond funds have modernized many buildings, some facilities remain outdated and do not fully meet today’s academic, safety, and sustainability standards.
To address these needs, the 4CD Governing Board is considering a potential bond measure in 2026 to provide funding to complete essential improvements identified in the Facilities Plans.
