  What:  LACCD officials will be available to brief the media on the
         successful passage of Proposition AA, a facilities bond
         measure that ensures completion of all projects outlined in
         each college's master plan. District officials will outline
         plans for creating a 21st century "Gateway to Opportunity" at
         each of the nine community college campuses. As space for
         students in California's state universities and the UC system
         becomes scarcer, community colleges will be expected to pick
         up the slack. Passage of Proposition AA will allow the nine
         colleges of the Los Angeles community college district to
         meet their imminent enrollment needs.
