Morales, City Manager DATE: April 26, 2017 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE: TO SUPPORT THE 2017 MIAMI DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS' STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES; TO URGE FLORIDA GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT AND THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE TO INCREASE PER PUPIL EDUCATION FUNDING IN FLORIDA PUBLIC SCHOOLSTO EQUAL OR EXCEED THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF APPROXIMATELY $11,009 PER PUPIL AND TO CONTINUE TO FUND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PROGRAMS; AND, TO FORMA 501(c)(3) ORGANIZATION TO FUND MIAMI BEACH PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION ENHANCEMt N i S. RECOMMENDATION Support the recommendations of the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee. Ongoing collaboration with Miami -Dade County Public Schools through our Education Compact supports the original intent of the Compact to strive to promote excellence and relevance in education in the City's public schools and community at large. ANALYSIS At the March 1, 2017, Commission meeting, a referral was made to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) to examine a funding mechanism for public schools within Miami Beach city limits, including a one cent (0.01) food and beverage tax. A complimentary item was referred at the Commission meeting on March 1, 2017 to the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) to hold a discussion regarding a governance structure for additional funding sources to support Miami Beach public schools. At the March 31, 2017 FCWPC meeting, motions were made to support Miami Dade County Public School State and Federal legislative priorities for 2017 specifically the per student funding, early childhood programs and to form a Not -for -Profit City of Miami Beach 501(c)(3) to fund Miami Beach public school education enhancements. At the March 1, 2017, City Commission meeting, the Commission referred an item to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) to examine options that may be available Page 754 of 1596 to the City to provide supplemental funding for enhancements and other support for public schools within the City's geographical boundaries including, but not limited to, proposing a one cent (0.01) tax on food and beverage transactions. A companion item was also referred to the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC), to hold a discussion regarding a governance structure with respect to the manner in which any such supplemental City funds to support public schools should be spent or used. Currently, various community groups in the City of Miami Beach have organized and established non -profits, such as the Friends of North Beach Elementary and Friends of South Pointe Elementary, to enhance the educational experience of each child by funding additional teachers, support staff, innovative technology programs, security personnel, and the like. If the City desires to participate in promotion of such efforts, the City Commission has the ability to create a not-for-profit organization, similar to its prior efforts with respect to creating One Miami Beach, Inc. This option would permit the City to engage in fund-raising, collaborate with existing groups, and provide comparable support to areas of the City that do not benefit from the work of local neighborhood organizations. On January 8, 2008, the City entered into an Education Compact (the "Compact") with Miami - Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS). Developed with significant community input, the Compact reflects the desire of the Miami Beach community to support excellence in its schools and an investment in the overall enhancement of education for its residents. The Compact currently addresses and supports the following priority areas: • Teacher Recruitment/Retention; • Communication; • Parental Involvement/Family Support/Youth and Community Engagement; • Health and Well -Being; • Student Achievement; • Safety; and • Technology. In Resolution No. 2015-28997, the City Commission directed the Administration to expand the Compact to address the following areas: Early Learning; Extracurricular/Choice Offerings; and Afterschool Programming. Since then, the City has entered into contracts with M-DCPS and other organizations for the following initiatives: Voluntary Pre -kindergarten (VPK) at Fienberg Fisher K-8 Center and Biscayne Elementary; Dual Enrollment Expansion through partnerships with Florida International University and Miami -Dade College at Miami Beach Senior High School and Nautilus Middle School; and Afterschool Teen Program at Nautilus Middle School. The City supports excellence in education in the City's public schools recognizing it is an investment in the overall enhancement of education for residents. Enhanced student achievement includes a seamless curriculum of advanced studies through the International Baccalaureate (I B) Program, from Pre -Kindergarten through twelfth grade. To date, approximately $747,000 has been expended for application fees, professional development for teachers, and other youth related activities including dual enrollment and Nurse Initiative (not including Voluntary Pre -K), for an additional $348,000 for the first two years.ttl The following is Page 755 of 1596 the status of implementation for each I B program: • Diploma Program (DP): Miami Beach Senior High is authorized to teach the IB Diploma Program as of Fall 2010. As an I B World School, approximately 82 percent of those eligible in 2012, 89 percent of those eligible in 2013, 62 percent of those eligible in 2014, 73 percent of those eligible in 2015, and 83 percent of those in 2016, received the I B Diploma. Currently, there are 115 students in the tenth grade and 100 students in ninth grade seeking the I B Diploma, a 765 percent increase since program inception. • Middle Years Program (MYP): Nautilus Middle School and Fienberg Fisher K-8 are authorized to teach the I B MYP Program and attained authorization in 2011. Both have obtained their five-year re -authorization. • Primary Years Program (PYP): South Pointe, North Beach, Biscayne, Fienberg Fisher, and Treasure Island Elementary are authorized IB schools as of February 2013. All schools have obtained their re -authorization. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2016/17, the City's expenditures to support and enhance educational programming in Miami Beach public schools amount to approximately $354,000, offset by approximately $100,000 in dedicated funding through the Education Compact Fund and contributions and $119,000 in General Fund support. In FY 2017/18, these expenditures are anticipated to increase to $434,000, offset by approximately $100,000 in dedicated funding through the Education Compact Fund. I hese efforts have been supported by drawing of prior year available balances in the Education Compact Fund, an approach that is not sustainable for the long term. Based on initiatives already underway, there is a need for an additional $300,000 recurring annually, above the funding available for the Compact. CONCLUSION Support the Miami Dade County Public Schools 2017 State and Federal Legislative Priorities specifically per student funding and early childhood education. Create a City of Miami Beach Not-forProfit 501(c)(3) to fund Miami Beach public school education enhancements. Ongoing collaboration with Miami -Dade County Public Schools through our Education Compact supports the original intent of the Compact to strive to promote excellence and relevance in education in the City's public schools and community at large.
