The auditorium will continue to be maintained and it's use managed by the Omaha Public Schools Administrative Staff. Current operating expenses such as heating, electricity and janitorial services are covered within the TAC Building's operating budget; and these expenses are slated to remain in the building's overall operating budget. Any increase in operating costs due to increased usage is expected to be offset by the increased rental income. No additional staffing is anticipated.
