COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

RECOMMENDATION

The administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission amend Resolution No. 2018-30259 and 2021-31562, authorizing the continuation and expansion of mathematics interventions and tutoring for students at Miami Beach Senior High School and Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School, and further authorizing flexible scheduling before, during, and/or after school for the 2025-2026 school year and all subsequent years.

This action does not require new funding but rather utilizes previously approved funds in an amount not to exceed $35,000.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

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.

On April 22, 2018, Resolution No. 2018-30259 (Attachment A) approved math interventions during school hours at Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School and Miami Beach Senior High School, in an amount not to exceed $20,000.

On January 13, 2021, the Mayor and City Commission discussed Item No. R9 U, entitled "Discussion and Vote Regarding College Students Offering Tutoring Services to Miami Beach Students" and voted to expand the tutoring services for mathematics for Miami Beach youth, in an amount not to exceed $15,000 per school year; which led to the adoption of resolution 2021-31562 (Attachment B).

ANALYSIS

This amendment's primary purpose is to streamline and enhance existing math support by consolidating the initiatives previously authorized by Resolution No. 2018-30259 and 2021-31562. This integration allows for the flexible deployment of tutoring and interventions before, during, or after school hours, directly addressing the need for varied scheduling expressed by school administrations to increase student access.

CONCLUSION

In adopting this Resolution, the City reaffirms its commitment to the Education Compact by consolidating and strengthening mathematics support at Miami Beach Senior High School and Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School. This action provides the administration with the flexibility to schedule essential tutoring and interventions before, during, or after school hours based on student need, ensuring the program is more effective.
