Title
APPROVAL OF THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SARASOTA, FLORIDA AND THE SCHOOL BOARD OF SARASOTA COUNTY, FLORIDA FOR VEHICULAR AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC MITIGATION AND ENHANCED SECURITY FOR SARASOTA HIGH SCHOOL
Description
Sarasota County School District and the City of Sarasota met on May 8, 2018 at a joint workshop to discuss the safety and security concerns regarding the segment of School Avenue that crosses through Sarasota High School. As a result of this meeting, the School Board and City Commission have agreed to close School Avenue from Hatton Street to Tami Sola Street to all users-motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists-during the school day as stipulated in the agreement. The attached Interlocal Agreement establishes the parameters by which Sarasota County Schools agrees to establish hours of closure, signage, and other planning efforts being undertaken to better secure the campus. By providing for the temporary closure of School Avenue, the agreement ensures that all visitors, students, and staff have controlled access to the campus during the school day.
Recommendation
That the School Board approve the Interlocal agreement between School Board of Sarasota County and the City of Sarasota to provide for the temporary closure of School Avenue.
