The Board\u2019s first action item was the review and consideration of a recommendation to enter into a contract with Finley & Cook, PLLC for professional auditing services. Seminole<\/p>\n\n\n\n
State College is required by state statute to obtain a new external auditor every five years, and the FY2025 audit marked the College\u2019s fifth year with its previous auditing firm. The Board approved the recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second action item was the review of President Reynolds\u2019 employment. In accordance with Board Policy, the President is evaluated each year prior to the January meeting. The evaluation process is conducted according to the wishes of the Board Chair. Nine years ago, Reynolds was named to the position of President, beginning her tenure in July of 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Reynolds met with a committee of the Board, composed of Chair Marci Donaho and Regents Curtis Morgan and Robyn Ready, on Jan. 13 to review performance and discuss challenges and successes of the last year, as well as to establish goals for the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Board retired into executive session to discuss President Reynolds\u2019 evaluation and contract. When the Board returned to public session, her contract was extended with no changes. Reynolds declined a salary increase, citing the institution\u2019s inability to award across-the-board pay increases last July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPresident Reynolds has provided steady, student-focused leadership while continuing to enhance academic programs and community partnerships,\u201d Donaho said. \u201cThe Board appreciates the progress made over the past year, and we are confident in the direction of the College as we move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n President Reynolds said, \u201cI\u2019m grateful to the Board for its continued confidence and for the opportunity to keep serving Seminole State College. I\u2019m committed to the goals we\u2019ve set for the year ahead as we continue investing in students, supporting employees and strengthening our campus community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Board members present at the meeting were Chair Marci Donaho, Curtis Morgan, Ryan<\/p>\n\n\n\n Franklin, Robyn Ready, Teresa Burnett and Mona Adkisson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next SSC Board of Regents meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 19, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Seminole State College Board of Regents convened Thursday, Jan. 15, for its monthly meeting in the Enoch Kelly Haney Center Board Room.
