LL-1. Student Enrichment in the Arts (SEAS)
Approve the 2014-2015 SEAS program at schools and at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. Since 1991, The School Board of Broward County, Florida, in partnership with the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, has presented the national award-winning Student Enrichment in the Arts (SEAS) program. The SEAS program continues to offer a unique style of learning by integrating theatrical performances in dance, music and drama into the student's education. SEAS brings to life storybooks and novels on stage. Each and every performance includes a study guide that links the performance to Florida Sunshine State Standards. Approximately 185 performances benefiting 133,226 students will take place in theaters and at schools during the 2014-2015 school year. What makes the SEAS program truly unique is its commitment to providing educational and artistic opportunities to all students free of charge. Regardless of socio-economic standing, the SEAS program is open and available to all schools, teachers and students. There is no admission charge for SEAS shows. The SEAS program ensures that students have the opportunity to become appreciators and producers of the arts. This year's programming includes national, international and local performing arts. SEAS is the cornerstone program for the School Board?s partnership with the Broward Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA). Approximately twenty-three years ago, the BCPA received a $7.5 million PECO grant initiated by The School Board of Broward County, Florida to fund the construction of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts complex. Through an interlocal agreement, the School Board has a forty-year, rent-free lease of the 550-seat Amaturo Theater. Under the interlocal agreement, The School Board of Broward County, Florida has exclusive use of the theater during school year daytime hours. The school system's partnership with BCPA allows usage of the world-class 2,500 seat Au-Rene Theater and 1,040 seat Parker Playhouse. The funding source for the SEAS program is the Student Enrichment Trust Fund. SEAS expenses include production costs, overhead/backstage and transportation costs. The principal of the Trust Fund is the sole funding source for SEAS. This results in a savings to the general fund. The balance in the Trust Fund at the conclusion of the 2013-2014 school year is $672,000. It is recommended that the Trust Fund principal be utilized to fund SEAS expenses during the 2014-2015 school year. There is no financial impact to the general fund. SEAS expenses for 2014-2015 school year are: $142,690 - Production costs paid to performance organizations for 2014-2015 shows $40,000 - Backstage/overhead costs related to use of the theater $146,000 - Transportation ?
