BACKGROUND/HISTORY The Education Compact with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), established on January 16, 2008 ("Education Compact"), includes the outcome to increase academic support and achievement. The Education Compact reflects the desire of the Miami Beach community to support excellence in the City's public schools to improve educational opportunities for youth. To increase academic support and achievement, the Education Compact seeks to identify and pursue the implementation of best practices strategies to increase the graduation rate at Miami Beach Senior High School(MBSHS). Dual enrollment is a program that allows eligible high school • and middle school students currently attending accredited Miami-Dade County public schools, private high schools, or home schools,to enroll in a college course while attending high school or middle school. The credits that students earn in the dual enrollment program must be applicable toward a high school diploma and postsecondary educational title, such as a college associate, a baccalaureate degree, or a technical certificate. Due to state funding changes for dual enrollment courses in July 2013, M-DCPS is responsible for reimbursing colleges for instructor and administrative fees; therefore, limiting the number of courses offered due to available funding and credentialing limitations of instructional school staff. Page 575 of 1750 On May 21, 2014,the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No.2014-28601 to support dual enrollment at Miami Beach Senior High School beginning in Spring 2015 through Florida International University at an amount not to exceed $20,000.

Dual enrollment courses save students and parents money, as dual enrollment students are exempt from paying application, registration, tuition, laboratory, and special fees if the classes taken are being used toward high school graduation. At the July 6, 2016, Finance and Citywide Projects Committee(FCWPC) meeting,the committee recommended accepting the enhancement request of$13,000 to expand dual enrollment options at Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School and Miami Beach Senior High School, through a partnership between the City, Miami Dade College, and Miami-Dade County Public Schools. At the July 13,2016, City Commission meeting, a discussion relating to the expansion of dual enrollment options at Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School and Miami Beach Senior High School, was referred, to the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC). The NCAC unanimously recommended the enhancement in the City's FY 2017 budget and the FCWPC unanimously recommended expanding the dual enrollment program.

Morales, City Manager DATE: September 14, 2016 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH MIAMI-DADE COLLEGE AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY, TO PROVIDE DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES FOR COLLEGE CREDIT FOR STUDENTS ATTENDING MIAMI BEACH SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, NAUTILUS MIDDLE SCHOOL,AND FIENBERG FISHER K-8 CENTER DURING THE 2016-2017 SCHOOL YEAR RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends the approval of this Resolution. This approval will assist the Department in accomplishing its measurable objectives linked to the City's Key Intended Outcomes to Induce Public School Accountability Mainly at Middle School and Achieve K-12 Educational Excellence. ANALYSIS The Education Compact with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), established on January 16, 2008, includes the outcome to increase academic support and achievement. Since the Education Compact implementation, the City of Miami Beach has collaborated with M-DCPS to improve educational opportunities for youth. At the January 31, 2014 Commission Retreat, the City's Key Intended Outcomes (KIO) in the Strategic Plan was updated to reflect the priority outcomes of the Mayor and Commission, and was formally adopted on March 5, 2014 per Resolution No. 2014- 28525. This Resolution supports the KlO to Induce Public School Accountability.Mainly at Middle School and Achieve K-12 Educational Excellence. The graduation rate at Miami Beach Senior High School at 79.4 percent in 2015, is a 16.7 percent increase from 2010. M-DCPS climate survey data for the 2014-15 School Year reflected that 75%of parents and 91%of school staff agree or strongly agree that children are receiving a good education at Miami Beach Senior High School, and 55%of students agree or strongly agree that they are receiving a good education. Further, the M-DCPS climate survey data for the 2014-15 School Year reflected that 87% of parents and 93% of school staff agree or strongly agree that children are receiving a good education at Page 418 of 2277 Page 583 of 1750 Nautilus Middle School, and 67% of students agree or strongly agree that they are receiving a good education. An activity included in the Education Compact to increase academic support and achievement is to identify and pursue the implementation of best practice strategies to increase the graduation rate at Miami Beach Senior High School (MBSH). Dual Enrollment programs enrich course opportunities for outstanding high school students and saves students and parents money. Dual Enrollment is a program that allows eligible high school and middle school students currently attending accredited Miami-Dade County public or private high schools, or home schools to enroll in a college course and high school course simultaneously. The credits that students earn must be used toward both a high school diploma and are acceptable towards a college Associate or Baccalaureate degree, or Technical Certificate. The benefits of offering dual enrolment classes to high school students include: • Enriches the course opportunities for outstanding high school students • Shortens the time to attain a college degree • Saves students and parents money, as dual enrollment students are exempt from paying application, registration, tuition, laboratory, and special fees if the class(es) taken are being used toward high school graduation • Provides students with college credit that is transferable to a college or university • Grades earned through dual enrollment will become part of the students' permanent high school and college transcripts Students in the 6th, 7th, gth, gth, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades that are enrolled in M-DCPS are eligible to participate in the Dual Enrollment programs and must meet the following criteria: • A minimum 3.0 high school unweighted grade point average(GPA) • Passed the appropriate sections of the College's Basic Skills Assessment Tests (PERT or CPT), or submitted adequate SAT/ACT scores, or submitted adequate FCAT scores. • Permission from the parent/guardian, high school principal and counselor • Met with the College Dual Enrollment Coordinator at the Campus he/she plans to attend • An understanding that the amount of work necessary to succeed in dual enrollment courses will be greater than in high school courses and must earn a grade of "C" or higher in their college-level courses to continue participation. Students whose College GPA falls below 2.0 are ineligible to continue dual enrollment. Due to legislative changes (Senate Bill 1514), funding for the dual enrollment program changed, effective July 1, 2013. Previously, community colleges and universities assumed the cost of dual enrollment. Students are exempt from paying for tuition, however, schools must reimburse the college/university for college credit courses (dual enrollment) taken by eligible high school and middle school students, who must have a 3.0 unweighted GPA and be college-ready in Reading and Writing per state-approved tests(PERT, SAT/ACT, FCAT). As such, the number of courses offered is limited due to available funding, along with credentialing limitations of instructional school staff. Miami-Dade College (MDC) currently offers dual enrollment courses in approximately 34 out of 53 high schools and two (2) middle schools across Miami-Dade County. Page 419 of 2277 Page 584 of 1750 The City administration recommends, and it would be in the best interest of high school and middle school students attending public school in the City, that the City of Miami Beach to enter into an Agreement with MDC to allow for the credentialing of eligible City staff, as well as qualified residents, to increase the number of Dual Enrollment courses available at Miami Beach Senior High School and Nautilus Middle School for upcoming school years.

RECOMMENDATION Administration recommends accepting this resolution and expanding dual enrollment offerings at Miami Beach Senior High School to include University of Florida as a partner provider. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The Education Compact ("Education Compact") with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M- DCPS), was established on January 16, 2008, and includes the outcome to increase academic support and achievement. At the January 31, 2014 Conmission Retreat, the City's Key Intended Outcomes to Achieve PreK-12 Educational Ereellence was prioritized In the Strategic Plan and continues to be a priority as reflected in the current Strategic Plan. The graduation rate at Miami Beach Senior High School was 94% in 2021, a 16.9% increase from 2015,is 3.9%above the overall M-DCPS graduation rate of 90.1%in 2021. M-DCPS dirnate survey data for the 2018-19 school year reflects 78% of parents agree or strongly agree that children are receiving a good education at Miami Beach Senior High School,a 3.7%decrease when compared to the 2010-11 school year, and 56%of students agree or strongly agree that they are receiving a good education,.a 21.7%increase from the 2010-11 school year. An activity induded in the Education Compact to increase academic support and achievement is.to identify and pursue the implementation of best practice strategies to increase the graduation rate at Miami Beach Senior High School (MBSH). Dual Enrollment programs enrich the course Page 424 of 1735 Page 615 of 1750 opportunities for outstanding high school students and saves students and parents money. Dual Enrollment is a program that allows eligible high school students currently attending accredited Miami-Dade County public or private high schools,or home schools,to enroll in a college course and high school course simultaneously. The credits that students earn must be used toward both a high school diploma and are acceptable towards a college Associate or Baccalaureate degree, or Technical Certificate. Students in the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grades that are enrolled in M-DCPS are eligible to participate in the Dual Enrollment programs and must meet specific criteria. The city has partnered with Florida International University and Miami-Dade College since 2004 to increase the number of dual enrollment courses at Miami Beach Senior High School and Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School. As of 2020-21 school year, the number of classes offered at Miami Beach public schools was 170 impacting 3,766 Miami Beach youth, for an estimated savings to families of $2,771,539.26 since program inception and an estimated cost to the City of $90,000 annually. ANALYSIS The University of Florida (UF) currently offers dual enrollment courses across the State of Florida and no courses in any of the 65 Miami-Dade County Public High Schools in Miami-Dade County. Due to,state funding changes for dual enrollment courses in July 2013, individual high schools are responsible for reimbursing colleges for instructor and administrative fees. As such, the number of courses offered is limited due to available funding, along with credentialing limitations of instructional school staff. To support our efforts to increase educational opportunities for Miami Beach youth and to increase our city's attraction to families as a place to live and raise a family, we propose a Memoranda of Understanding with UF to increase dual enrollment options for Miami Beach youth which will make the City of Miami Beach the only City offering dual enrollment through University of Florida at a Miarn-Dade County public high school in Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
