Title
APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT FOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES BETWEEN SARASOTA MILITARY ACADEMY AND THE SCHOOL BOARD OF SARASOTA COUNTY, FLORIDA
Description
Approval of the agreement between Sarasota Military Academy and the School Board of Sarasota County, Florida for Transportation Services.
Gap Analysis
Charter schools that desire to provide transportation services for their students have a few options. They can purchase their own buses and operate an in-house program, they can contract with a private busing service, or they can contract with the local school district. Sarasota County Schools’ Transportation Department has been contracted to provide transportation to several charter schools for the last few years. The contract stipulates the term by which the charter school will pay for transportation services and Sarasota County Schools will provide transportation services to the charter school.
Previous Outcomes
The terms for previous contracts between the Charter school and Sarasota County Schools have been successfully completed.
Expected Outcomes
The designed Charter school will pay for, and Sarasota County Schools will provide, transportation services under the terms of the contract.
