The Los Angeles Times from Los Angeles, California • Page 113

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1997 B5 LOS ANGELES TIMES SEGURA Continued from Bl resident of Marina del Rey, whom Trustee Gloria Romero described as "destined to be a star nationally." "He's one of the most innovative, creative and courageous persons to walk into a Los Angeles school system," Romero said. said she understood the compensation package to be more lucrative than the $140,000 Segura earns in Los Angeles. Yet despite their view that Se-gura's new post is a step up for him, both Romero and board member Kelly G. Candaele said they believed Segura's decision also may have been colored by frustration that his efforts to solve the district's problems were not proceeding as quickly as he had hoped. "I sensed there was some frustration there," Candaele said.

Romero said California law governing community colleges put more constraints on a chancellor than Texas law does. "From the CEO's perspective, he has a lot more control in Texas," she said. Board member Elizabeth Garfield congratulated Segura on his new job, and said, "The district will certainly be fine." Segura, 50, returned to his native California in 1996 from Austin, Texas, where he ran a seven-campus community college district When he was hired, Segura, who described himself as experienced in "organizational transformation," took over the helm of a district beset by declining enrollment, budget constraints and a rundown infrastructure. Romero said Segura had made inroads in increasing enrollment and started the district on a path toward living within its budget and requiring greater accountability of its campus presidents. For example, it was during Segura's brief tenure that campuses began deep cuts of classes and extracurricular programs in order to meet a Board of Trustees' mandate to close budget deficits that had been building for years.

No timetable has been set for his departure, Sillers said. The trustees are expected to discuss plans for replacing him at their next meeting in January. a Obituaries I Photos by BORIS YAHO La i Angeles Timei wmmtj representative for Banta Catalog Division.
