Open Agenda
Approve the 2014 High School Graduation License Agreement with Global Spectrum, L.P. for BankUnited Center at the University of Miami.
BankUnited Center will be the 2014 graduation host site for Cypress Bay High School. Cypress Bay will hold their graduation exercise at BankUnited Center on June 1, 2014. The school is the largest graduating class among Broward County Public Schools with 1,099 students. The criteria established by The School Board of Broward County, Florida, for the selection of 2014 graduation sites are:
* ensure that every graduate has access to a minimum of four tickets for family and guests.
* consolidate graduation venues to reduce costs.
* reduce costs by eliminating all graduation rehearsals.
* no split class graduations.
* schedule weekday and weekend graduations.
* make every effort to avoid conflicts in scheduling high school graduations based on School Board member districts.
The only available South Florida venue the District can secure that is large enough to accommodate Cypress Bay's graduating class of 1,099 graduates and guests is BankUnited Center (located on the campus of the University of Miami). The other venue option is the BB&T Center in Sunrise. The BB&T Center is reserved during graduation week by the National Hockey League (NHL). The primary tenant of BB&T Center is the Florida Panthers. The BB&T Center only becomes available when and if the Florida Panthers fail to qualify for the NHL playoffs. The selection of BankUnited Center ensures that Cypress Bay has a firm date and site for graduation. By reserving BankUnited Center, student and family members may plan graduation activities and travel arrangements in a timely fashion. The Cypress Bay stakeholders request to conduct their graduation at BankUnited Center. The school has conducted graduation ceremonies at BankUnited Center in previous years.
There is no charge for event parking.
This Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel. This agreement will be executed after School Board approval.
The financial impact of this item is $18,500. The source of funding is the Department of Student Activities and Athletics budget. This budget item does not require a Collaboration Form from the Capital Budget Department.
