EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We request approval of Contract No.10N0043 with the Florida State Fair Authority to provide the venue for the 2010 Middle School Math League Competition.

On April 7, 2010, the districtwide Middle School Math League Competition will be held for students to compete in grade-level teams for both team and individual awards. Responding to challenging mathematical problems, students must strategize independently as well as cooperatively within a team. To prepare for competition, students practice throughout the school year with a teacher-coach. Approximately 550 students will participate in the Math League competition to win trophies for their schools and for themselves.

This agreement has been reviewed by the School Board Attorney as to form and sufficiency.
