Update on Records Management

Valencia Community College is required to follow the records management and retention rules set forth by Florida's records management program, as authorized by section 257.36, Florida Statutes (F.S.), and applies to public records as defined in F.S. 119.011(11).

Records management is more than retention, storage, and disposition of records; it entails all record-keeping requirements and practices that allow an organization to establish and maintain control over information flow and administrative operations.

Valencia follows schedule GS1-SL, State and Local Government Agencies. This schedule was recently updated in September 2007.  We also follow schedule GS5, Universities and Community Colleges, which was last updated in June 2002. You can find these schedules that can be downloaded at:  http://dlis.dos.state.fl.us/records mgmt/gen_records_schedules.cfm.

The State offers training opportunities to familiarize people with the forms and processes associated with recordkeeping requirements.  Two of these training sessions will be held at our CJI location this year.  The first is on June 17, with a second session on September 23.  Please visit the following Web site link for further details. http://dlis.dos.state.fl.us/ recordsmgmt/seminars.cfm.

Daryl Davis, coordinator, Decision Support Systems, Institutional Research will be inducted into the 2008 UCF Athletics Hall of Fame on April 11. Daryl’s basketball accomplishments began at Tavares High School and continued at UCF from 1991-1995. Daryl is one of only three basketball players who recorded at least 1,500 career points and 500 career rebounds during their UCF career. Daryl’s leadership skills on the court have carried into his professional and personal life. In addition to being a valuable member of the Institutional Research office, he is also a mentor with the Bridges program and coaches his son’s basketball team. 

Daryl began his academic career at Valencia, received his BS in Management from UCF, and earned his MS in Computer Information Systems from University of Phoenix. He is a vital asset to the Institutional Research office, and we congratulate him on his past and future accomplishments.
