The Los Rios Community College district is run by CEO/chancellor (Daniel) Brian King of Folsom, California. King's previous occupation was the president of the Cabrillo Community College in Aptos, California. His education includes Duke University, University of Missouri (Mizzou), as well as Alabama State University.
The educational facilities provided by the district include four accredited colleges, and several off-campus "educational centers" located to serve specific geographic communities:
Governance and public oversight is provided by a Board of Trustees whose seven members are elected to four-year terms by the public from different geographical trustee areas.
Common administrative services such as human resources, purchasing, accounting, and information technology are provided for the colleges at a separate off-campus district office complex. Los Rios' main office is at 1919 Spanos Court in the Arden-Arcade area of Sacramento County.
One of the first actions of the new Los Rios district was to form a planning committee which, in 1967, acquired new land for future colleges: north of Sacramento in Natomas, south near Elk Grove, and east near Folsom. That committee proved to be accurate in their predictions of growth, which has been invaluable to the district over time. Property values in these areas have soared and acquiring the amount of land necessary for a complete college campus today might be prohibitively expensive.
