SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Florida State Fair Authority License and Use Agreement for Events, Contract No. 14N0127, for the Middle School Math League Competition (Curriculum and Instruction Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We request approval of Contract No. 14N0127 with the Florida State Fair Authority to provide the venue for the 2014 Middle School Math League Competition.

On May 28, 2014, 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 competition to win trophies for their schools and for themselves.

It is the practice of the Florida State Fair Authority to sign any negotiated contract after it has been signed by the Licensee, in this case The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Align financial resources to support the district’s strategic goals • Demonstrate best financial practices
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
The cost of $6,109.20 for use of the facility is funded through school registration fees, which are received through internal accounts at the school site.  The Agreement includes the cost of rental, set up of chairs and tables, security, and utilities.
