In 2005 the Florida Department of Education approved the district's 2005-10 Five-Year School Plant Survey. Florida Statute 1010.31(1)(a) mandates that supplemental surveys be submitted when a school district seeks to remodel existing buildings or to construct new buildings not included in the Five-Year Survey. This survey amendment allows for updates to the survey recommendations for Fruitville Elementary School, Booker Middle, Brookside Middle, Heron Creek Middle, McIntosh Middle, Sarasota Middle, Venice Middle, North Port High School, Sarasota High School, the Adult and Community Education Facility, Cyesis, and Triad.  Upon approval by the Board, the submittal will be accomplished on-line through the state's EFIS network.

10. AUTHORIZATION TO FILE AMICUS BRIEF

Description
The West Villages case raises some of the same issues raised by the School Board in its litigation with the City of North Port involving the City's imposition of non-ad valorem assessments against governmentally owned property.  The Second District Court of Appeal has ruled in favor of West Villages and has certified a question of great public importance to the Florida Supreme Court.  Counsel believes the School Board should seek leave to file an amicus brief with the Supreme Court to protect the School Board's interests as a decision by the Florida Supreme Court in the West Villages case will directly affect the School Board's case against the City of North Port.  A copy of the Second District's decision is attached.

Recommendation
That the School Board authorize counsel to seek permission to file an amicus curiae brief in the Florida Supreme Court in the case of West Villages Improvement District v. North Port Road and Drainage District, Case No. 2D09-2221.

FINANCE

52. APPROVAL OF THE SUPERINTENDENT'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDING APRIL 30, 2010

Description
The Superintendent's Financial Statements for the month ending April 30, 2010, do not reflect any unexpected trends for the 2009-10 fiscal year.  The General Fund currently shows a fund balance of approximately $119.3 million.  However, a budgeted deficit spending in the General Fund in the last two months of the fiscal year will decrease this balance due to State revenue shortfalls and reduced property tax revenues.  The Food Service Fund revenues overall increased over 6% due to the increase in the number of children eligible for free and reduced meals.  The money the District receives through the Free and Reduced Meals Program has increased approximately 26%, but revenues received from students paying full price or purchasing al a carte meals has decreased over 10%.  Expenditures have increased approximately 3% from the prior year.  The District made an arrangement with the Tax Collector in December for their office to invest some of the District tax revenue money since they are receiving a better interest rate than the District. This is the cause of the large Due from Other Agencies amount in both the General and Capital Projects Funds.

Recommendation
That the Superintendent's Financial Statements for the period ending April 30, 2010, be approved as presented.
