LETTER TO COMMISSION
Subject: City of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County Public Schools
Education Compact Status Update
The purpose of this Letter to Commission (LTC) is to update the Mayor and
Commissioners on the status of the development of a City of Miami Beach Education
Compact pursuant to direction received at the 2006 Commission Retreat.
Property taxes collected by the Miami-Dade County School (MDCPS) Board from City of
Miami Beach residents has increased by $90 million (77%) since FY 2004/05, of which,
an additional almost $27 million increase projected for FY 2007/08 alone.
To date, the following steps have been taken to assist the City in its pursuit of an
Education Compact with Miami-Dade County Public Schools:
• Quality Education Committee established a Compact sub-committee to identify
educational needs;
• City staff met with Feeder Pattern principals to obtain additional information on
issues and support;
• City Manager and staff met with MDCPS Region II director and School Board
representative;
• Compact draft submitted to Quality Education Committee for review and
comments; and,
• Draft submitted to MDCPS Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, Grants,
Marketing, and Community Services (copy attached).
Next steps anticipated are to meet with the MDCPS Office of Intergovernmental Affairs,
Grants, Marketing, and Community Service in mid-July, incorporate recommendations
and changes suggested, review draft with the Quality Education Committee, review draft
with the Neighborhoods Committee, and submit to the Commission.
I feel that we have made good progress to date and anticipate healthy discussion
opportunities with MDCPS as we strive to meet the educational needs of our children.
Should you have any questions, or need additional information, please feel free to
contact me.
