the Board in Dr. Handy’s Statement of Concern presented at the June Board meeting
PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Dr. Handy addressed the request brought to the June Board meeting that a policy be
developed by the college regarding post-retirement volunteerism and employment. Mr.
Dykes checked with the Okaloosa County School System and found that no policy is in place at
this time. Mr. Dykes and Dr. Handy recommend that the college follow the FRS Guidelines
rather than developing a local policy. He encourages retirees who have a desire to return to
be sure to work with FRS.
The college has a new Men’s Head Basketball Coach, Steven DeMeo.
The Kids On Campus program has brought a total of 350 children to our campus this summer.
