Amend the Adopted District Educational Facilities Plan for fiscal year 2004-05 and approve the appropriation of $150,000 in Capital Funds to initiate the campaign for the new Coral Glades High School Stadium Complex.
On September 17, 2002, The School Board of Broward County, Florida approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Coral Springs regarding the construction of Coral Glades High. The City of Coral Springs designed and constructed, at the City's expense, all the outside athletic facilities for use by the students attending Coral Glades High. The athletic fields constructed included a lighted football field and track, lighted softball field, lighted baseball field, practice soccer field and four outside full basketball courts. The City also built a concession and restroom facilities for use by students and spectators.
The School Board of Broward County, Florida has in the past allotted $150,000 in capital funding to assist high schools in the construction of new stadium complexes. The School Board has previously approved $150,000 in funding for new stadium complexes at Cypress Bay, Everglades High, Flanagan High, Nova High, Hallandale High, Stoneman Douglas High, Fort Lauderdale High and Taravella High. The Coral Glades Stadium Committee is requesting a $150,000 appropriation to initiate the campaign for Coral Glades High stadium complex. This capital funding request is consistent with the School Board's previous actions and consistent with the philosophy to encourage community and municipal partnerships in the construction of new stadiums.
The Coral Glades Stadium Committee is a school support group that seeks to fund the purchase of home and away bleachers and a press box to create a stadium complex for school and community activities. The City of Coral Springs has offered to serve as the project and construction manager of the project. The Coral Glades Stadium Committee consists of school and community stakeholders including parents, athletic booster club representatives, band boosters, staff and representatives from City of Coral Springs including the Director of Parks and Recreation and the Assistant City Manager.
The stadium complex will have seating for 2,000 spectators. The projected cost of home/away bleachers and press box is $358,000. The Coral Glades Stadium Committee is in the process of conducting numerous fundraising events to raise the necessary funds for the project. To expedite use of the stadium, available funds will be used to first construct bleachers on the home side and utilize existing portable bleachers on the visitor's side.
The financial impact to the School Board of Broward County is $150,000. The funding source is the capital projects reserve.
