TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2018-30259 TO (1)
REPLACE ALL REFERENCES TO "READING TUTORS" WITH "READING
INTERVENTIONISTS" AND (11) ALLOW SUCH READING INTERVENTIONS
FOR STUDENTS WHO ATTEND MIAMI BEACH SOUTH POINTE ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL, NORTH BEACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, BISCAYNE BEACH
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, MIAMI BEACH FIENBERG FISHER K-8 CENTER,

EDUCATIONAL ENHANCEMENT.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission authorize reading
interventions for students attending South Pointe Elementary School, North Beach
Elementary School, Biscayne Beach Elementary School, Miami Beach Fienberg-Fisher
K-8 Center, and Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School for in -school reading intervention
services to be conducted before, during or after school hours during the 2025-2026 school
year,and,thereafter, for each subsequent school year, subject to funding approval during
each fiscal year through the City's budgetary process.
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.
At the March 26, 2018, FCWPC meeting, staff was requested to begin negotiations to
allow for implementation of reading tutoring during and/or after -school at North Beach
Elementary, Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary, Miami Beach Fienberg Fisher K-8
Center, Biscayne Beach Elementary, and Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School.
On April 22, 2018, Resolution No. 2018-30259 (Exhibit A) approved reading interventions
during and/or after -school for students attending Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary
School, North Beach Elementary School, Biscayne Beach Elementary School, Miami
954 of 3458
Beach Fienberg-Fisher K-8 Center, and Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School, in an
amount not to exceed $50,000.
From inception, the Administration has partnered with local universities to recruit students
majoring in Education, Early Education, Reading/Literacy Education, and English. Today,
the initiative offers literacy reading support to approximately 175 struggling students at
each participating school.
ANALYSIS
To better serve students at the aforementioned schools and target specific academic
needs, the Administration requires the ability to implement reading interventions before,
during, and after school hours. Because Resolution No. 2018-30259 restricts these
interventions to only during, and/or after -school hours, this amendment is required to
expand this service.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
CONCLUSION
In adopting this Resolution, the City reaffirms its commitment to the Education Compact
by consolidating and strengthening literacy support at Miami Beach South Pointe
Elementary School, North Beach Elementary School, Biscayne Beach Elementary
School, Miami Beach Fienberg-Fisher K-8 Center, and Miami Beach Nautilus Middle
School. This action provides the administration with the flexibility to schedule essential
reading interventions before, during, or after school hours based on student need,
ensuring the program is more effective.
Furthermore, this continuity and expansion are achieved utilizing previously approved
funds in an amount not to exceed $50,000, representing a fiscally responsible investment
in student success.

VPK program for next year, the City will pmmpdy send you a notice of termination pursuant to Section
