Florida State College at Jacksonville President Cynthia Bioteau announced on Monday her intent to retire from the college at the end of the semester.

“My integrity, purpose, passion and vision have been the cornerstones with which I have walked hand in hand with our students, employees and community,” Bioteau wrote in a letter to the school’s board of trustees. “The pivotal progress that FSCJ has made collectively through the hard-working efforts of our faculty, staff and administrators serves as a point of accomplishment and pride. As a change agent my focus has been bringing us to the present from a broken system of four years ago centering on access, equity, diversity and quality education.”

The letter, dated Monday, outlined what Bioteau felt are her accomplishments during the last four years at the college, including re-accreditation of the college, an improved student retention rate and leading the college out of a probation imposed by the federal Department of Education.

Bioteau’s last day will be May 31, she wrote.
