Charter
  
​Description ​Established in fall 2005, the LACCD Student Success Initiative is a joint effort of the LACCD administration and the District Academic Senate aimed at improving student learning and student success outcomes at all LACCD colleges.  The SSI was created in direct response to concerns raised by the District Academic Senate and the Board of Trustees about student achievement and student success rates at all levels across the District.  The overarching purpose of the Student Success Initiative is to create an effective district-wide “network” of faculty, administrators and staff dedicated to improving student success
