Planning is an integral part of the college. The Research and Planning Group of CA Community Colleges (RP Group) defines planning as:
"Based on the college’s mission statement, planning involves deciding the college's focus/ priorities, setting institutional goals, developing institutional/ departmental strategies, outlining tasks and creating schedules to measure if the goals are reached, evaluating the outcome and doing it all again (i.e., think, plan, do, and evaluate cycle)."
In keeping with the cycle of "Plan, Do, Review," planning at LBCC has changed over the years. The process is periodically evaluated in order to improve it and make it current, relevant, and responsive to the changing needs of the college, the students and the community.
On August 21, 2007, the Academic Council approved a new planning process to be overseen by the new College Planning Committee.
