5 hours ago Share As circus leaders plan an expansion, they re aiming for a 99-year lease extension to remain on Sarasota High School s campus.
Leaders of the Circus Arts Conservatory hope to make Sarasota a U.S. hub for circus education and are planning an expansion of its 2.2-acre property on Bahia Vista Street.
To make that possible, conservatory leaders need approval from the Sarasota County School District because the organization s arena sits on Sarasota High School property.
Conservatory leaders appeared before the School Board on May 4 to inform members of their intentions, and will return to present a master plan concept and ask for a 99-year extension to its lease.
