R7L-Adopt Amendment To The City Budget For Fiscal Year 2014-15 -Grieco-COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
"A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, Adopting the
Amendment to the City Budget for Fiscal Year 2014/15"
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Ensure proper preparation of the city's 4-year-old population for Kindergarten.
Item Summary and Recommendation
'fhis item is a product of a previously approved and signed Resolution #2015-28997, and simply
approves available frrnding of the first piece of the policy. There are currently fiAy-five (55)
children/families seeking VPK through the administration of the Miami-Dade Public School System.
Due to turavailability of Title I f'unding to supplement State of Florida VPK funding, these families did
not win the "lottery," making them boxed out of the programs provided.
In way of background, the Miami-Dade School District is not a funding source for pre-K, as it simply
acts as a provider as would a private provider. To make clear what this means, $2400.00 is available,
via State funding, to every 4-year-old that wishes to participate in VPK. A qualified VPK provider, be
it public or private, does not need to utilize certified educators and minimum requirements provide for
only three (3) hours of care/leaming. MDPS VPK program is much more robust, providing I full-time
certified preschool teacher and I paraprofessional for a full day class of twenty (20) students.
As MDPS has made efforts to go well beyond the basic 3-hour, uncertified VPK "funded" by the State
of Florida, it's program costs far exceed the $2400 per-student State allocation- 'Ihe several thousand
dollar per-student shortfall is made up county-wide solely fiom available Title-l hrnding, which is
insufficient for the demand in Miami Beach. In order to ensure MDPS VPK availability for the 55
families discussed, a frst-year funding allocation of $253,000.00 is needed, with the following two
years requiring $189,042.00 each. There would oniy be a 3-year commitment, as */- changes to the
State model could impact future allocations. Furthermore, three years is an adequate period to then
reassess demand and determine political will. The chart below outlines the costs with specificity:

As the City previously entered into its Education Compact (1/16/08) to support and fund the feeder
pattern's participation in the International Baccalaureate, a funding source was created via the Waste
Hauler contracts, which have gone from 2 vendors to 3. '[he City maintains a static savings as a result
of this project currently of $432,424.00 (after annual IB payments). In order to not affect the generai
fi.rnd nor the contingency fund (currently at $214,000.00), the first-year frrnding source would be solely
the waste haulers (non tax dollar) account.

COLLABORANON TO DEVELOP AN
THE MIAMI.DADE COUNTY SCHOOL
BACKGROUND
At the March 11, 2015, Commission meeting, Commissioner Grieco sponsored item R7N, a
Resolution to the Mayor and Commission to lobby the State Legislature and Miami-Dade County
Public School Board regarding compliance with the State's Class Size Amendmenl. The item was
defened to the March 18,2015 meeting. ln2AO2, voters approved an amendmentto the Florida
Constitution, at Article lX, Section (1) (a), which establishes a limit on the number cf students that
can be placed in a classroom. The Constitutional "Class Size Amendment" provides the following
sized classrooms:r 1B students in prekindergarten through grade 3o 22 students in grades 4 through It 25 students in grades g through 12
The State Legislature also amended several chapters of the Florida Statutes, to implement the
Class Size Amendment. One of the revised statutes defined thai the Class Size Amendment
would only apply to "Core Cuniculum" courses and not to extracurricular courses. As a result,
class sizes got larger again at the start of the 2010-2011 school year, after the state re-defined a
core class. About twothirds of the 849 "core" classes offered in Florida elementary, middle, and
high schools are now labeled extra-curricular, which has no limit on class size. This includes but is
not limited to advanced placement, lnternational Baccalaureate, and Spanish classes.
The Resolution was referred to the April 8, 2015 Finance and Citywide Projects Gornmittee
meeting for discussion. The members referred the item to the Mayor and Comrnission for further
discussion at the April 15,2015 Commission meeting.
Resolution 2015-28997 was presented io the Mayor and Commission on April 15.2015, for
discussion. The resolution was referred to both Finance and Citywide Projects Committee and
Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee at a joint meeting on May 24, 2415 for fudher
discussion.

from the General Fund and the Education Fund balance. Funding for enhanced afterschool
programming and instructional support for Miami Beach Senior High School and Nautilus Middle
School will need to be evaluated separately once cost information is provided by Miami-Dade
County Public Schools.
