Sarasota Police are investigating the incidents, including one in which a woman woke up to find two teen suspects in her bedroom.
Sarasota Police are investigating several burglaries reported at homes in the Alta Vista neighborhood, including one in which a woman awoke to find two teen suspects in her bedroom, officials said Monday.

Scott Lempe, chief operating officer of Sarasota County Schools, presented Tuesday the proposed site planned signed by charrette participants for an upgraded Sarasota High School. Those upgrades for Option 5 will cost $30.5 million, Lempe said, which is $4 million more than the $26.5 million budget the Board of Education provided. "In fairness to Option 5, none of those options could we do for $26.5 million," Lempe said. Also, a solid proposal with a better estimated price could not be figured until late summer, he said.
