GENERAL ITEMS

9. RESOLUTION OF THE SCHOOL BOARD OF SARASOTA COUNTY, FLORIDA - ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FOR BAY HAVEN SCHOOL OF BASICS PLUS

Description

Bay Haven School of Basics Plus is situated on only 5.4 acres, has no on-site student drop-off or pick-up, and has too few parking spaces for staff, parents, and visitors.  The district's CIP calls for a project to improve these deficiencies.  The purchase of neighboring lots would allow the district to create better traffic flow for the school and neighborhood and would increase student safety.
