The Committee for Quality Education woufd like to request the Mayor and Commission continue
to sustain cuRe�t public schoo!educational enhancements and support the newly prioritized
educa6onal enhancements for the private and charter schools.The amount reflected for the
private and charter schools is estimated based upon current public school e�hancement
programs and may not be reflec6ve of actual funding needs. The public,charter and private
schoo!representatives are united and committed to all improvements and enhancements for the
educational needs of all Miami Beach children.7hese enhancements should only be an
expansion and never a reduction of currenUy funded public school enha�cement programs.
The Cammittee for Quality Education urges the Mayor and Commission to support the above
request.
