| | | | | | | | | TO: | Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission | | | FROM: | Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez | | | DATE: | May 15, 2024 | | | |
| | SUBJECT: | REFERRAL TO THE COMMITTEE FOR QUALITY EDUCATION IN MIAMI BEACH AND FINANCE AND ECONOMIC RESILIENCY COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS STRATEGIES IN BRIDGING MIAMI BEACH FIENBERG FISHER K-8 FUNDING GAP IN LIGHT OF THEIR TITLE I FUNDING LOSS. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND/HISTORY
| Miami Beach Fienberg-Fisher K-8 (MBFFK-8) Center, an International Baccalaureate school in South Beach, FL. With students from nearly 100 countries, Fineberg-Fisher prioritizes holistic education, offering robust music, fine arts, and physical education programs. In May, MDCPS leadership met with MBFFK-8 leadership, for the Budget conference for the upcoming school year, to determine if the school qualifies for Title I status and funds based on the number of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) certified students. During the May budget Conference, it was determined that MBFFK-8 would lose its Title 1 funding. Without Title I funding, MBFFK-8 faces a funding gap of about 250,000. With the lost funding, the student population at MBFFK-8 faces an educational risk with the belief that the learning impact/loss will spill over to Miami Beach Senior High as the children move. |
