Approve Renewal Lease with McDill Columbus Corporation for Classroom Space for Career Recruitment and Instruction in Basic English (CARIBE) Program, 2011/2012 (Curriculum and Instruction Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We request approval to renew the lease with McDill Columbus Corporation from July 1, 2011 through July 31, 2012, for 4,200 square feet of classroom space at a monthly rate of $5,582.29, for an annual lease of $66,987.48 including all utilities and custodial services.

The district has leased classroom space for the CARIBE adult education program at McDill Columbus Corporation, 2700 North MacDill Avenue in Tampa, since 2001.  The facility is used for approximately 500 adult learners enrolled through CARIBE for instruction in English language for recent refugees and political asylees.  The location has proved to be ideal for recruiting and retaining the targeted refugee population.
