OFFICE OF THE MAYOR AND COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and Commissioners
FROM: Michael Grieco, Commissioner
DATE: December 9, 2015
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING AN
AMENDMENT TO THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015/16;
WHICH AMENDED BUDGET IS ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT
A.
Key Intended Outcome Supported: Ensure proper preparation of the City's 4-year-
old population for Kindergarten.
Recommendation: Approval of the budget amendment. And direct the City Attorney
to prepare an interlocal with M-DCPS to reflect the programming and accountability
relating to the funding.
Item Summary and Recommendation:
This item is a product of a previously approved and signed Resolution No.: 2015-
28997, and simply approves available funding of the first piece of the policy. There are
currently fifty-five (55) children/families seeking Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK)
through the administration of the Miami-Dade Public School System. Due to
unavailability of Title I funding to supplement State of Florida VPK funding, these
families did not win the "lottery," making them boxed out of the programs provided.
In way of background, the Miami-Dade School District is not a funding source for pre-
K, as it simply acts as a provider as would a private provider. To make clear what this
means, $2400.00 is available, via State funding, to every 4-year-old that wishes to
participate in VPK. A qualified VPK provider, be it public or private, does not need to
utilize certified educators and minimum requirements provide for only three (3) hours
of care/learning. MDPS VPK program is much more robust, providing 1 full-time
certified preschool teacher and 1 paraprofessional for a full day class of twenty (20)
students.
We are committed to providing excellent public service and safety to all who live, work, and play in our vibrant, tropical, h R7E

Budget Amendment Resolution Memorandum
As MDPS has made efforts to go well beyond the basic 3-hour, uncertified VPK
"funded" by the State of Florida, it's program costs far exceed the $2400 per-student
State allocation. The several thousand dollar per-student shortfall is made up county-
wide solely from available Title- I funding, which is insufficient for the demand in Miami
Beach. In order to ensure MDPS VPK availability for the 55 families discussed, a first-
year funding allocation of $253,000.00 is needed, with the following two years
requiring $189,042.00 each. There would only be a 3-year commitment, as +/-
changes to the State model could impact future allocations. Furthermore, three years
is an adequate period to then reassess demand and determine political will. The chart
below outlines the costs with specificity:
Cost Of Classroom 20:2 Ratio Year One Costs Recurring Costs

Funding Source.
As the City previously entered into its Education Compact (I/16/08) to support and
fund the feeder pattern's participation in the International Baccalaureate, a funding
source was created via the Waste Hauler contracts, which have gone from 2
vendors to 3. The City maintains a static savings as a result of this project
currently of $432,424.00 (after annual IB payments). In order to not affect the
general fund nor the contingency fund (currently at $214,000.00), the first-year
funding source would be solely the waste haulers (non tax dollar)account.
We are committed to providing excellent public service and safely to all who live, work, and ploy in our vibrant, tropical, historic community.

BOARD
•
BACKGROUND
At the March 11, 2015, Commission meeting, Commissioner Grieco sponsored item R7N, a
Resolution to the Mayor and Commission to lobby the State Legislature and Miami-Dade County
Public School Board regarding compliance with the State's Class Size Amendment. The item was
deferred to the March 18, 2015 meeting. in 2002, voters approved an amendment to the Florida
Constitution, at Article IX, Section (1)(a), which establishes a limit on the number of students that
can be placed in a classroom. The Constitutional"Class Size Amendment" provides the following
sized classrooms:
• 18 students in prekindergarten through grade 3
• 22 students in grades 4 through 8
• 25 students in grades 9 through 12
The State Legislature also amended several chapters of the Florida Statutes, to implement the
Class Size Amendment. One of the revised statutes defined that the Class Size Amendment
would only apply to "Core Curriculum" courses and not to extracurricular courses. As a result,
class sizes got larger again at the start of the 2010-2011 school year, after the state re-defined a
core class. About two-thirds of the 849"core" classes offered in Florida elementary, middle, and
high schools are now labeled extra-curricular,which has no limit on class size. This includes but is
not limited to advanced placement, International Baccalaureate, and Spanish classes.
The Resolution was referred to the April 8, 2015 Finance and Citywide Projects Committee
meeting for discussion. The members referred the item to the Mayor and Commission for further
discussion at the April 15,2015 Commission meeting.
Resolution 2015-28997 was presented to the Mayor and Commission on April 15, 2015, for
discussion. The resolution was referred to both Finance and Citywide Projects Committee and
Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee at a joint meeting on May 20, 2015 for further
discussion.

programming and instructional support for Miami Beach Senior High School and Nautilus Middle
School will need to be evaluated separately once cost information is provided by Miami-Dade
County Public Schools_

• • - Improved student achievement;- school safety; and'technology access. The initial major
activities, Intended outcomes, and measures associated with each of these major focus areas
are outlined below.
Teacher Recruitment/Retention
. Activities:
The District and the City will collaborate to develop a supplemental incentive program
for teacher recruitment/retention in Miami Beach schools. The City component of the
program will focus on encouraging incentives which may Include discounts,mentoring,
training, and tickets to public events. Mentoring and training opportunities will be least
disruptive to school staffing needs, with schools providing coverage(as applicable)for
staff to participate. The District will provide support for the City program which may -
include but not be limited to invitations to participate In District recruitment events and
posting of City sponsored incentives on the District's recruitment webpage.
Page 1 of 10
• The District will make available to the City all instructional staff recruitment and
retention statistics and data for Miami Beach schools and districtwide which Is
considered public information.
• The District will make available to the City all survey data pertaining to teacher
- satisfaction levels (in particular key drivers for recruitment and retention)on a regular
basis,segregated by each Miami Beach school where possible.
•
• The City will support the District's efforts, those of other stakeholder groups and
districtwide initiatives that address the housing needs of teachers and non-instructional
staff. In the event the City develops a program to provide workforce housing and/or
housing support for "essential personnel,* the inclusion of public school teachers
and/or other public educational personnel will be explored.
