Title
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE VENICE INSTITUTE FOR PERFORMING ARTS CENTER MANAGEMENT, INC. AND THE SCHOOL BOARD OF SARASOTA COUNTY, FLORIDA

Description

The Venice Institute for Performing Arts Center Management, Inc (VIPAM) performs management services for the Performing Art Center at Venice High School.  The Board initially approved a contract with VIPAM on September 5, 2023 for services extending through June 30, 2026.  Due to increased costs to operate the Performing Arts Center, VIPAM has requested an increase in the monthly payment of $2,500, from $9,000 per month to $11,500 per month.  It is anticipated that revenues generated through VIPAM’s management will offset this increased cost.
