Morales, City Manager DATE: April 23, 2014 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR ND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTH IZING THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT, ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY ATTORNEY AND THE CITY MANAGER, WITH THE MIAMI BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE CHILDREN'S TRUST, NORTH BAY VILLAGE, THE TOWN OF BAY HARBOR ISLANDS, THE TOWN OF SURFSIDE, AND BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE TO IMPLEMENT THE NURSE INITIATIVE FOR THE 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR IN THE AMOUNT OF$15,400 FROM THE MIAMI BEACH EDUCATION COMPACT FUND FOR THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH'S PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF FUNDING FOR THE NURSE INITIATIVE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL IN THE FY 2014/15 ANNUAL BUDGET. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Approve the Resolution. BACKGROUND On December 11, 2013, the Commission discussed (Item R9K) the continuation of the Nurse Initiative for the 2014-15 school year,approved on July 17,2013, per Resolution#2013-28258(Item C7N) funding the Nurse Initiative for the 2013-14 school year. On October 24, 2012, the Commission requested the motion made by the Committee for Quality Education regarding health care in feeder pattern public schools be referred to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee to discuss consideration of the request to strengthen Education Compact activities as they relate to health and well-being. The Committee for Quality Education made the following motion at the September 24, 2012, meeting regarding health care in our public schools: The health and well-being of our children are of paramount importance and should be considered a community priority and responsibility. Therefore, the Committee for Quality Education recommends the Mayor and City Commission review the Health and Well-being activities in the Education Compact to strengthen them and consider funding support. The Education Compact with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), established on January 16, 2008, includes the outcome to increase the health and well-being of students in Miami Beach public schools. The activities included in the Compact agreement to support this outcome Commission Memorandum April 23, 2014 Nurse Initiative Page 2 of 4 include the following: • The school District will maintain health clinics(nurse practitioners and/or registered nurses) at Fienberg-Fisher, Biscayne, Nautilus, and Miami Beach Senior High, subject to continued available funding,and will work with all Miami Beach schools to coordinate visits from the Health Connect on Wheels service(as available)or similar service to schools and/or Miami Beach recreation centers; • The District and the City will collaborate to deliver information regarding health and wellness education, prevention and intervention strategies regarding nutrition, physical activity levels, and health maintenance in accordance with the District's Wellness Initiative; • The City will explore the development of a middle school-level after-school program. The District will collaborate with the City by assisting with the recruitment of students, including providing space within District-owned facilities as needed, and exploring expanded transportation options for participating students; and, • District will explore the expansion of full-time nurse practitioners and/or registered nurses at schools without health clinics, subject to available funding. Of the eight Miami Dade County Public Schools that fall within the City of Miami Beach feeder pattern, there is Health Connect in Our Schools (HCIOS) Suites in five of them: Biscayne Elementary, South Point Elementary, Fienberg-Fisher K-8 Center, Nautilus Middle School, and Miami Beach Senior High School. For students that do not require routine medications,the HCIOS is used for nursing assessments, administration of first aide,consulting with parents and caregivers, etc. These are considered Non-Routine Medication visits and they account for over 90% of all the services provided amongst the HCIOS health suites. Each of the schools above with health services has one medical assistant(health aide)on site full- time to provide the day-to-day services in the health suites. The equivalent of two full time higher- level nurses provides services to all five schools. Additionally, asocial worker serves each school; however, M-DCPS provides this portion at Biscayne Elementary, South Pointe Elementary, and Miami Beach Senior High School. The remaining schools have HCIOS social workers. The Children's Trust contracts with nine providers to deliver health services via school based health suites to approximately 5,793 students at five schools in Miami Beach currently receiving services. The three remaining schools in the Miami Beach feeder pattern that do not have full-time onsite services are North Beach Elementary(1,024 students),Treasure Island(683 students),and Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor Elementary(1,265 students), of which approximately 1,297 reside within City of Miami Beach limits and attend either North Beach Elementary or Treasure Island Elementary. Currently, the three schools above are considered "Satellite" schools. Satellite (Basic) Schools Health Services was implemented to ensure that some level of basic health services are provided in all Miami-Dade County Public Schools by a registered professional nurse. Nurses are available to address on-call requests and consultations in Satellite(Basic)schools. These schools also receive the following health services from the Miami Dade County Health Department(per Pamela Toomer, Assistant Community Health Nursing Director): • School site visits throughout the year • School needs assessments with principal input • Tracking of students opting out of health services • Monitor immunization compliance Commission Memorandum April 23, 2014 Nurse Initiative Page 3 of 4 • Monitor documented Temporary Medical Exemptions/Immunization Records • Consultation with school staff as needed • Consultation with parent/guardians as needed • Individual (Student) Health Care Plans • Provide child specific trainings Additionally, per Wilma Steiner, Director Comprehensive Health Service MDCPS, mandated school health services for every public school include preventive dental programs, vision screenings, hearing screenings, scoliosis screenings, growth and development screening/BMI, health counseling, referral and follow up of suspected or confirmed health problems, medication administration, prevention of communicable diseases,and health education curriculum. Complete optometric exams and lenses are offered to low income students through the Miami- Lighthouse, Children's Vision Program, available at the school site. During the December 2012 Finance and Citywide Projects Committee meeting, motions made by the Quality Education Committee regarding the funding of a registered nurse at underserved public schools in the feeder pattern were discussed. The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee recommended funding the City's proportionate share of the estimated $62,000 for a full-time registered nurse with benefits for the 2013-14 school year subject to the other neighboring municipalities also contributing their proportionate share of the nurse for the three underserved schools in the feeder pattern. The City's proportionate share was approximately$30,500 for the 2013-14 school year. These funds were appropriated for FY 2012/13 in the Education Compact Fund adopted by Resolution 2012-28018 anticipated to be used for teacher development programs and fees to the International Baccalaureate Organization redirected at the May 8,2013 Commission meeting per Resolution 2013-28219 to support the Nurse Initiative. Dr. Leslie Rosenfeld coordinated this 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 full-time registered nurse. The shared funding would allow a registered nurse to visit the three underserved schools: North Beach Elementary, Treasure Island Elementary, and Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center, at least 1-2 times each week. The Nurse Initiative has been in place as of August 2013. The schools participating in the Nurse Initiative have an HCIOS team of professionals including a shared Registered Nurse, a full-time Medical Assistant,and a social worker which already funded by Miami-Dade County Public Schools For the 2014-15 school year, the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce and The Children's Trust have committed funding in the amount of$30,000 and $126,549 respectfully for the Nurse Initiative, an increase of 28% from the 2-13-14 school year commitment. Additionally, the receipt of the Health Foundation of South Florida matching grant to the Miami Beach Chamber Education Foundation for the Nurse Initiative n 2013-14,will allow a carryover of unused funds of$32,000 for the 14-15 school year. The registered nurse rotates between each of the aforementioned schools (or as per Children's Trust recommendation)so that accessibility is equal amongst all three schools. Each school now has a full-time medical assistant at its site. In 2013-14, the HCIOS provided by the Nurse Initiative through Feb. 28, 2014, served 2,178 unduplicated students, an average of 72% of the total school populations visiting the Miami Beach funded HCIOS, with an average of 66% of students returning to class. The benefits of HCIOS health teams include: a coordinated level of school-based healthcare, expanded health screenings,and assessments with access to follow-up care, mental and behavioral i Commission Memorandum April 23, 2014 Nurse Initiative Page 4 of 4 health services to identify and solve student health and educational issues, nutrition and health counseling, heath services for uninsured students with no other option for access to health care, emergency first aid/CPR, and chronic disease management. The disposition of every HCIOS visit will be tracked to assess the outcome for the students who utilize the services and the measure of whether or not the intervention the student received was effective is the rate at which the students are returned to class; it is expected pursuant to the Nurse Initiative agreement that 85% of the students who receive HCIOS services will return to class. As of March 2014,each of the neighboring municipalities has committed approximate funding for the registered nurse for the 2014-15 school year as follows: Town of Surfside $3,667, Town of Bay Harbor Islands $3,667, Bal Harbour Village $3,667, and North Bay Village $6,600. The Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce will continue to serve as the fiscal agent to collect the funds from the participating neighboring municipalities and the City of Miami Beach and will disperse the funds to The Children's Trust. The City of Miami Beach, along with our neighboring municipalities,and the Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce Education Foundation,will enter into a memo of understanding,which will include,but not be limited to the following: • Description of Services to be provided by Tr ust selected a n d app rove d provider • Detailed schedule for registered nurse • Monthly report of services provided to youth by school • Monthly/annual percent of youth returning to class after nurse visit(target=85%) The Miami Beach Chamber Education Foundation, as the fiscal agent for the Nurse Initiative, will enter into an agreement with The Children's Trust to disperse the municipal collected funds.
