Each year, the Mayor and City Commission adopt a list of legislative priorities for the annual session of the State Legislature. Miami-Dade County Public Schools is the fourth-largest school district in the United States and serves the Miami Beach area.
As such, the Mayor and City Commission historically urge the Florida Legislature to support MDCPS 2020 State Legislative Priorities to help improve opportunities for Miami Beach youth attending public schools. Additionally, it would be advantageous to add the Miami-Dade County Public Schools 2020 Legislative Program to the City’s own 2020 State Legislative Priorities.
The City’s legislative consultants should work collaboratively with representatives of State government to support the City’s initiatives, implement and change legislation that is in the best interest of the City, and represent the City on issues that impact Miami Beach.
