ANALYSIS
Page 390 of 2228
In January 2008,the City of Miami Beach entered into an Education Compact with Miami-Dade
County Public Schools to enhance learning opportunities for youth. The Compact reflects the
desire of the Miami Beach community to support excellence in the City's public schools and
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.
On April 15, 2015, the Mayor and the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2015-28997,
which directed the Administration to expand the Compact to address the following areas: Early
Learning; Extracurricular/Choice Offerings; and Afterschool Programming.
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 an Afterschool Teen Program at Nautilus Middle School.
The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics ("STEM") to Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics ("STEAM") movement has been taking root over the past
several years and is surging forward as a positive model of action to truly meet the needs of a
21st century economy. STEM alone, without the Arts component, misses several key
components that many employers, educators, and parents have voiced as critical for our
children to thrive in the present and rapidly approaching future. STEAM is an educational
approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics as
access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking.
Given the expanded approach offered by STEAM, the City of Miami Beach has explored
options to help promote the deployment of a STEAM Initiative in Miami Beach Public Schools
and, as part of this effort, the City Manager and the Mayor of Miami Beach met with M-DCPS
Superintendent, Alberto Carvalho, to explore the opportunity to deploy STEAM as part of the
regular school curriculum in the 2018-19 school year.
On January 16, 2019 the Mayor and the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2019-30690,
authorizing the City Manager and City Clerk to execute a grant agreement with the Friends of the
Bass Museum, Inc. for the implementation of a Beta Test for a Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) Plus program with all six Miami Beach public
schools (kindergarten - 12th grade) and six local cultural institutions. The participating cultural
institutions included the Bass Museum, Miami City Ballet, New World Symphony, the Jewish

High School, and South Pointe Elementary.
On July 9, 2019 the Mayor and the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2019-30906,
authorizing the City Manager and City Clerk to execute a grant agreement with the Friends of the

Page 391 of 2228
Nautilus Middle, North Beach Elementary, Miami Beach Senior High School, and South Pointe
Elementary.
The program is referred to as a STEAM Plus initiative, and is intended to inspire students to
engage and prepare in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics to work with
cultural anchors to infuse theatre, visual arts, dance, and music in traditional class offerings. The
"Plus" component of the STEAM Plus initiative is the City's program to promote career and
college readiness.
The 2018-2019 Beta Test concept provided survey data for continued STEAM programming
with 82.9% of school administrator responses requesting that the program continue (41
responses total), and 95.0% of parent responses requesting that the program continues (61
responses total).
The requested amendment expands the program to include one additional elementary school,
Treasure Island Elementary, allowing for a partnership with the Town of North Bay Village to
fund approximately 50 percent of the associated costs for such implementation and to hire an
independent contractor to serve as the liaison for the City to support this program.

Composite Exhibit 1 I Project Description
1. Proiect Description
The 2019-20 school year represents Year Two of the Project. While all the cultural institutions in
Miami Beach have cultural missions, integrating arts and cultural instruction into the K-12 daily
schedule can be a challenge given the complexity of the school program, the diversity of the
feeder pattern and the different mediums of cultural content providers. The Bass has conducted
numerous meetings with school and arts stakeholders and launched a Beta Test program in the
Spring 2019 feeder pattern in the City of Miami Beach. The program delivered unique
programming as created by the Bass,the Miami City Ballet,the New World Symphony,the Jewish •
Museum, the Wolfsonian,and Young Musicians Unite to six(6)of our public schools. Over 2000
children were impacted at every grade level. The schools include Biscayne Elementary, Feinberg
Fisher K-8 Center, Nautilus Middle School, North Beach Elementary, Miami Beach Senior High
School,and South Pointe Elementary.The pilot fulfilled its purpose to deliver of arts programming
into the daily school curriculum. The programming fits into the Miami-Dade County Public School
system Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) initiative but takes
the arts programming to a new level. For the 2019-2020 school year, the program will be similar
but will expand to include additional cultural institutions.
The program for the 2019-2020 school year has been carefully developed to provide grade-
appropriate content for each level. And while not every grade level will receive instruction from
all institutions, all grades will experience all institutions over the course of the K-12 education.
The details of each institution's deployment is shown in Attachment A. Over the course of the
project, each institution will be visiting their school partners at least 3 times on location and once
at their institution. Each partnership includes a field trip to the location. Some cultural institutions
will.be culminating in a show or exhibition as set forth below.
