Department: Fire Rescue
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to award Monroe County Fire Academy Scholarships to two Key
West High School students, Colton K. Butler III, and Edward Perez, Jr.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Key West Fire Department sponsors the Richard B. and Nina Jo Wardlow Memorial
Scholarship program. The program offers a chance for the children of Monroe County to receive firefighter
certification and thus open an opportunity for them as a career firefighter. This appears to be such an excellent
program that Monroe County Fire Rescue offered three positions in the Monroe County Fire Academy if the
scholarship was offered to Coral Shores High School and Marathon High School in addition to Key West High
School. This was done, and there were a total of two applicants from all three schools. At this time, Monroe
County Fire Rescue would like to award these two applicants with Monroe County Fire Academy Scholarships.

Mrs. Calleja from Key West High School has two students whom have applied.
