Approve Florida State Fair Authority License and Use Agreement for Events, Contract No.12N0103, for the Middle School Math League Competition (Curriculum and Instruction Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We request approval of Contract No.12N0103 with the Florida State Fair Authority to provide the venue for the 2012 Middle School Math League Competition.

On May 2, 2012, 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.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Challenge and support all students with an appropriate curriculum
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)
The cost of $7,268.68 for use of the facility is funded through school registration fees which are received through internal accounts at a school site.  The agreement includes the cost of facilities rental, chairs/tables setup, security, and utilities.
