TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
• FROM: Alina T. Hudak, City Manager
DATE: July 28,2021
SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING FUNDING FOR THE
GENERAL EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT ("GED") AND ENGLISH FOR
SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES ("ESOL") CLASSES FOR MIAMI
BEACH RESIDENTS ENROLLED AT MIAMI BEACH ADULT AND
COMMUNITY EDUCATION CENTER FOR THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR, AND
EACH SUBSEQUENT SCHOOL YEAR, SUBJECT TO FUNDING APPROVAL
DURING THE CITY'S BUDGETARY PROCESS, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO
EXCEED $11,700 PER SCHOOL YEAR; AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS OR
AGREEMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM.
RECOMMENDATION
The administration is seeking approval to utilize remaining scholarship GED/ESOL funds for
Fall 2021 and continue funding of the Miami Beach Adult and Community Education
Scholarship Program for City residents enrolling in GED and ESOL classes at the Miami Beach
Adult and Community Education Center for the 2021-22 school year (Fall, Winter, and Spring
semesters)and each subsequent fiscal year.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
In July 2020 the Commission approved Resolution 2020-31324 authorizing funding of up to
$11,700 for the General Education Development (GED) and English for Speakers of Other
Languages (ESOL) classes for Miami Beach residents enrolled in Fall 2020 at Miami Beach
Adult and Community Education Center, appropriated from the City's General Fund for Fiscal
Year 2020. On October 15, 2020, the City signed an agreement with the School Board to
provide these services.
On February 22,2021,the City amended its original agreement with the School Board to extend
the term to March 22, 2021.
The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) course is designed to provide
English language and literacy instruction for English language learner adults whose first
language is other than English and who are non-literate or semi-literate in their home language,
in order to increase their ability to communicate in English. The instructional focus is to prepare
. adult learners to use English for entering the career and technical and/or postsecondary
education,employment,and participation in civic life.

The GED course of instruction prepares students for academic and personal success
through obtaining the necessary skills required to pass the official GED test and earn a State of
Florida High School Diploma. This program strives to motivate students not only to obtain the
diploma but also to utilize the acquired skills in the workforce and to achieve career and job
placement success.
ANALYSIS
During Fall 2020 and Winter 2020 the ESOL and GED scholarship provided 77 Miami Beach
adult residents a scholarship in a total cost to the City of$2,310,or$30 per participant.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse impact on Miami Beach's vulnerable
residents, enrollment in GED and ESOL classes continues to be low, due to financial
constraints of Miami Beach families. The hospitality industry continues to suffer impacts of the
COVI D-19 pandemic; in order to ensure that our workforce remains on Miami Beach, as they
are the backbone of our hospitality industry, removing obstacles to their ability to attain and
improve basic skills like English proficiency and high school graduation equivalency, is critical. It
is anticipated that with continued funding and with the expected return of in-person classes,
more Miami Beach residents will take advantage of this scholarship opportunity.
