Each initiative mentioned has demonstrated real results and represents a tremendous need on our campus or in our community. I hope you will be as pleased as I am to see our College be able to implement these measures for our students, faculty and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to thank our state leaders in the Florida Legislature and Governor DeSantis for their tremendous support of TCC. We would not be able to do what we are doing this year if it were not for the additional dollars that have been allocated. We appreciate the recognition of the tremendous results the College has been able to achieve over the past few years, and the confidence that these funds will go directly to supporting our mission of providing talent for our community and our state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is my pleasure to share TCC\u2019s 2023-24 fiscal year operating budget which was unanimously approved by the District Board of Trustees at their June Board meeting on Monday.
