A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH OPPOSING THE REQUIREMENT
THAT SENIOR CITIZENS PAY FEES IN ORDER TO
ATTEND COMMUNITY SCHOOL CLASSES.
WHEREAS, the Florida Department of Education has directed
Dade County to begin charging fees to senior citizens for
attending community school classes; and
WHEREAS , free community school classes have provided senior
citizens with needed entertainment, opportunities to socialize and
stimulation as well as education; and
WHEREAS , many senior citizens are living on a limited fixed
income and will be deprived of the opportunity to attend classes
by the requirement of fees; and
WHEREAS , the fee requirement for senior citizens will result
in an unfortunate loss to all Dade communities in that many
community school classes will be discontinued due to insufficient
enrollment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the City Commission opposes the
requirement that senior citizens pay fees in order to attend
community school classes.
