Attachment: DIRTY__2012_GFCSB_Legislative_Program1.pdf10. ADOPTION OF TENTATIVE DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES PLANDescription
Section 1013.35, Florida Statutes, establishes a series of facility planning actions with which all Florida School Boards must comply. Long Range Planning and Budget staff have completed the Department of Education's on-line planning tool and have submitted the draft plan to all local governments for review of Comprehensive Plan consistency. The School Board is now asked to adopt the plan, which does comply with the financial feasibility requirement. The first section replicates the revenues and projects in the Board's recently-adopted five-year capital budget; the first year of this section constitutes the capital outlay budget as required in s. 1013.61, F.S. The Long Range Planning section is unnecessary this year due to the recently adopted five-year plant survey. The reader should use caution when interpreting this document as some data elements (e.g., remaining revenues, class size, school enrollments, total enrollments, future costs) are misleading due to the spreadsheets' design. Also, the Board's adoption of this document does not compel any action past the implementation of the Capital Budget for 2012-2016, as previously adopted September 13, 2011.
Recommendation
That the School Board adopt the tentative district educational facilities plan as presented.

25.APPROVAL OF LEASE AGREEMENT AND OPERATING AGREEMENT FOR THE SAILOR CIRCUS WITH CIRCUS SARASOTADescription
The Board transferred oversight of the Sailor Circus to the Police Athletic League in January of 2004. Since that time the Police Athletic League has continued the proud traditions of the Sailor Circus. Recent conversations between School Board staff, the Sheriff, and Circus Sarasota have led to a model that would change this relationship from the Police Athletic League having oversight of Sailor Circus to Circus Sarasota taking that role. Circus Sarasota is a long standing and well respected organization with both professional circus performers and a leadership structure that will benefit the students and staff of the Sailor circus for years to come. These agreements establish the circumstances and operating procedures under which that relationship will be executed. Note that the agreement includes both a commitment to the traditions of the Sailor Circus and a commitment to enrollment and performances.
Recommendation
That the Board approve the lease agreement and operating agreement between the School Board and Circus Sarasota, Inc., as presented.
