35   identify and study options for restructuring the

42   colleges.  The task force shall review the current
43   community college governance system; ongoing
44   collaborative efforts among the community colleges;
45   the relationships between the community colleges and
46   local school districts, accredited nonpublic schools,
47   other accredited postsecondary institutions in Iowa,
48   and the department of education; and changes necessary
49   to enhance the accountability of community colleges.
