YOUTH PROGRAMMING.
WHEREAS, on June 30, 2016, the National PTA adopted a Resolution (attached hereto
as Exhibit A) on LGBTQ individuals as a protected class; and
WHEREAS, the National PTA's Resolution states that all "children and youth should be
able to attend school in a safe and inclusive environment free from discrimination" and further
states its support for "legislation that creates a safe, supportive and accepting environment in
schools" with regard to issues of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach have been in
the forefront of championing the rights of the LGBTQ community, and the rights of LGBTQ youth
to be free from discrimination, harassment, and bullying based upon their gender identity and
sexual orientation; and
WHEREAS, specifically, the Mayor and City Commission have expressed their support
for policies which provide a safe and supportive environment for LGBTQ youth in schools in City
Resolution No. 2017-29768, which strongly opposed the recent rescission of federal policy
guidance regarding access of transgender students to sex -segregated facilities based on their
gender identity, and in City Resolution No. 2013-28257 regarding the implementation of an anti -
bullying program in City schools; and
WHEREAS, the National PTA's Resolution also encourages local governmental entities

teacher/staff intervention, and a greater reporting of incidents; and

Policy and within all future City agreements for youth programs that are operated, sponsored,
and partnered by the City of Miami Beach.

Whereas, All children and youth should be able to attend school in a safe and inclusive environment free from

Whereas, Explicit federal statutory protections currently address discrimination on the basis of race, color, national
origin, sex, disability, but not sexual orientation or gender identity; and
Whereas, The lack of awareness and understanding of issues. facing LGBTa children and youth has contributed to a
higher rate of isolation, depression, and suicidal ideations or attempts; and
Whereas, Education regarding LGBTQ issues increases understanding and cultivates- acceptance of and respect for
LGBTQchildren and youth; and
Whereas, Harassment and bullying policies that specifically mention sexual orientation, gender identity and gender
expression are associated with: students feeling more safe; lower levels of bullying; decreased incidents of harassment
related to sexual orientation; increased teacher/staff intervention; and a greater reporting of incidents; now therefore
be it
