Title: Description:
The School District has an overcrowding situation in the North area that will be relieved through new construction and modernizations. This Charter School serves Elementary School students and will bring needed temporary relief to overcrowded schools in the area. The Charter School Programs will serve students in the North County area that are not able to access the current District Montessori Programs. This agreement consists of leasing the “old” media center on a temporary basis to the Montessori Academies of Palm Beach County, Inc. Charter School for the interim period during which time the school will be adding new elementary school capacity in the area (Jerry Thomas Elem. Addition, Limestone Creek Elem. Addition, Westward Elem. Modernization). The Charter School will use the “old” media center for the 05-06 and 06-07 school years at a cost of $1.00 per year. The Charter School will be responsible for modifications of the facility and will be required to return the building to the current layout if required by the District at the end of the lease. The Charter School needs for this facility will be for no more than two (2) years. While the District has current administrative needs for the “Old” Media Center Building, it considers the needs of the students that will be served by these programs its’ first priority. Board in approving this item also approves an Access License Agreement which will allow the Charter School and it's contracted professionals access to the property for the design plans and renovation work prior to the commencement of the Lease. Recommendation: I recommend the School Board approve the lease agreement between the Montessori Academies of Palm Beach County, Inc. and the School Board of Palm Beach County for the use of the “old” H. L. Watkins Media Center for the 05-06 and 06-07 school years; and authorize the Superintendent and Chairman to sign all necessary documents.
