63. APPROVAL OF CONTRACT TO PURCHASE A SITE FOR THE THIRD MIDDLE SCHOOL IN NORTH PORT

Description

Before the original, platted City of North Port is built-out, the school district will need a third middle school.  Recently, district staff has worked within the parameters of the Interlocal Agreement for School Facility Planning to ensure that the selection of future school sites is timely, cost-effective, and compliant with best practices.

The 50+ - acre site had been proposed for residential development, but has just been foreclosed upon.  Preliminary environmental and civil analyses have found the site suitable for a middle school.  Land for a future YMCA is adjacent, utilities already surround the site, road connectivity is already constructed, and geographically the site would eventually relieve both current middle schools.  Funding is available in the 2008-09 budget and would come from the carry-forward of school impact fees.

 

Recommendation
That the School Board of Sarasota County approve the attached contract to purchase a site for the third middle school in North Port.

Motion Minutes: 

The Superintendent stated that generally the Board would vote on the extension of a contract.  The Board is not doing that today because of the nuisance of how it works because she has a contract that goes until 2011. There is something she needs to let the Board know.  Part of that contract and apparently it has been that way forever, is a 3% increase that is automatic.  I will not accept that.  Certainly this is not the time to have an increase.  I am also going to direct staff in the Finance Department to impose on my base salary a reduction of 3.25%.  I am requesting this for several reasons.  I think given the times we are facing and the future and although we all pray it will begin to stabilize; we don't know that is for sure.  I think it is so important to start at the top if you have to face the potential of a salary reduction.  I also tell you that as we go out and request from this community the renewal of our referendum, certainly during these times more than ever, there is a certain amount of trust that goes with that affirmative vote to renew that.  Certainly I believe and I hear it every day out in the community there is tremendous trust and confidence in our teachers in our schools.  But there also is if I can even in just some small token way demonstrate the need for them to trust the leader and that my priorities are with what is good for this school district.  It is not about me and I know it is in just one small way.  There are people that are making far greater sacrifices, but if I can do one small token way of demonstrating my commitment; I need to do that.  I have always promised myself that if I accepted this role I would follow my heart.  My heart tells me that is what I need to do.  I wanted to let you know that I am requesting that for the 2009-10 school year.  The Superintendent thanked the Board very much for their support.

Minutes: 

Board Chair Caroline Zucker stated that the Superintendent has left us all stunned. We don't know how to handle it.  Part of me wants to say no.  I don't want to accept that further reduction in your salary and the other part of me wants to adhere to your wishes and desires because I understand as we spent time together talking this last year, so I understand where you are coming from.  That is what is impacting me right now.

Board Vice-Chair Shirley Brown stated that she also would perhaps have the Board look at; we don't know yet as the Legislature sets our salaries and we do not know how that is going to come out, but I'd also like to perhaps look at us taking a 3% reduction or what the rate is that the calculation comes out whichever is less.  We might bring that up to discuss at our next meeting or workshop.  We won't know those numbers until July. 

Board Chair Caroline Zucker stated that we would have a reduction.

Board member Carol Todd stated that she certainly agreed with Mrs. Brown and I think that Mrs. White's comments were very well spoken and I think your comments speak to your professionalism and your commitment to this district.  I don't know what else to say but it is not about you, but it is about the district.   Your comments exemplify.  Your actions are following up your words.  I don't know what else to say but thank you and I am glad you are here.
