Agenda Item RqT

Schools' Nurse Update
On December 20, 2012,the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee met to discuss the
motions made by the Quality of Education Committee during their September meeting
(October 24, 2012 Commission Item R9N). The Committee recommended funding the
City's proportionate share of the estimated $62,000 for a full time registered nurse with
benefits subject to the other neighboring municipalities also contributing their
proportionate share of the expenses. The City's proportionate share is approximately
$29,000. This is to be done for one year and analyzed again when preparing the
operating budget going forward.
Following the recommendation of the Committee, the Interim City Manager drafted a
letter to each of the neighboring municipalities informing them of the City's initiative.
Dr. Leslie Rosenfeld has been charged with coordinating this joint effort between the
City of Miami Beach, North Bay Village,Town of Surfside,Town of Bay Harbor Islands,
and Bal Harbour Village,to converge efforts to secure the funding needed for the
Registered Nurse (approximately$65,000 per The Children's Trust). The funding would
allow an RN to be at each of the aforementioned schools at least 1-2 times each week.
The RN will rotate daily between each school (or as per Trust recommendation)so that
accessibility is equal amongst the three schools. Currently,these schools do not have
any type of onsite medical care for the children. Dr. Rosenfeld has reached out to the
principals at each of these schools through MDCPS district staff to ensure a designated
space is available for the RN to provide services to the children.
Dr. Rosenfeld has met with each neighboring City Manager to discuss this partnership.
To date, funds have been secured as follows:
• Town of Surfside committed $7,222 at the March 12, 2013 Commission meeting
• Town of Bay Harbor Islands committed $7,222 at the April 8, 2013 Commission
meeting
• Bal Harbour Village committed $7,222 at the April 16, 2013 Commission meeting
North Bay Village will meet on May 21, 2013, to discuss funding this initiative.
Additionally,the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce applied for a grant through
AETNA to partially fund health care in our underserved schools and was awarded funds
in the amount of$30,000.
If the amount recommended is$ 65,000 for a full-time RN,the following would apply:
$21,666 City of Miami Beach for North Beach Elementary
$8,666 City of Miami Beach for Treasure Island Elementary (40%of cost)
$12,999 City of North Bay Village for Treasure Island Elementary(60%of cost)
$21,666 Surfside, Bal Harbor, Bay Harbor for Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor
Elementary (100%of cost divided by 3 municipalities at$7,222 each)
