Title
APPROVAL OF THE JOINT PROJECT AGREEMENT BETWEEN SARASOTA COUNTY SCHOOLS AND SARASOTA COUNTY GOVERNMENT
Description
Under this joint project agreement between Sarasota County Schools and Sarasota County Government the School District is contributing ten million dollars of capital funds and 1 million dollars of state funding for a total contribution of eleven million dollars to fund a portion of the construction of the regional fire academy training facility. Specifically the funding will be used to construct a classroom facility to be utilized by Sarasota County Technical Institute to run the fire training academy.
Gap Analysis
The current Fire Academy training facility is in need of replacement. The fire tower, burn building and classroom portables on the site will need significant renovation. In addition the current site is leased from the City of Sarasota by the School District. The new regional training facility will be state of the art and combine the training academy and professional development training for current fire personnel.
