TO:
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM:
Eric Carpenter, City Manager
DATE:
May 21, 2025
TITLE:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2024-33180 TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS BOARD, AND BARRY UNIVERSITY FOR THE ADDITION OF BARRY UNIVERSITY AS A PARTNER TO PROVIDE DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES AT MIAMI BEACH SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE 2025-26 SCHOOL YEAR AND EACH SUBSEQUENT YEAR, SUBJECT TO FUNDING APPROVAL DURING THE CITY'S BUDGETARY PROCESS; AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM.

RECOMMENDATION

City Administration recommends the inclusion of Barry University, Inc. as a dual enrollment provider for students at Miami Beach Senior High School.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

On November 8, 2019, the City and the Miami-Dade County School Board executed an agreement setting forth the guidelines for the City to support the dual enrollment courses offered at Miami Beach Senior High School and Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School. Multiple amendments between Fiscal Year 2020 and Fiscal Year 2024 were executed to increase access for students to multiple universities/colleges including Miami-Dade College, Florida International University, and University of Florida.

On July 24, 2024, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2024-33180 (Attachment A), authorizing the use of the $41,432 allocation for the partnerships at any of the approved universities/colleges in order to meet student needs for dual enrollment courses during the 2024–2025 school year and subsequent years.

ANALYSIS

Approving an agreement between the City of Miami Beach, the Miami-Dade County School Board, and Barry University, Inc. for additional dual enrollment courses at Miami Beach Senior High School will support student requests (Attachment B). The inclusion of Barry University, Inc. as a partner will not increase the current funding allocation.
