The following schools received support through this initiative for the indicated number of days per
week during the 2022-23 school year: Treasure Island Elementary one (1) day per week, North
Beach Elementary two (2) days per week, Ruth K. Broad K-8 Center two (2) days per week, and
Miami Beach Senior High School five (5) days per week. *Services were not provided to some
schools through this initiative in the 2022-23 school year due to staffing challenges of our partners:
Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary, Miami Beach Fienberg Fisher K-8, Miami Beach Nautilus
Middle School, and Biscayne Beach Elementary.
Staff from the Office of Education and Performance Initiatives will be reaching to municipal partners
to determine interest in sustaining the Nurse Enhancement Initiative in the 2023-24 school year.
Furthermore, alternate service models are being explored to fill the open mental health professional
position for the 2023-24 school year to ensure services are available for all youth.
The Miami Beach public school community may reach the mental health professionals directly using
the information provided below during the school year:
