COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM

TO:	Finance and Citywide Projects Committee Members

FROM:	Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager

DATE:	June 29, 2018

SUBJECT:	DISCUSSION TO CONSIDER SPONSORING A COMMUNITY YOUTH CYBER BEHAVIOR AND SAFETY PROGRAM


HISTORY: At the May 16, 2018 Commission meeting, a referral was made to the Finance and Citywide Finance Committee to consider sponsoring a community youth cyber behavior and safety program.

ANALYSIS:

Per conversation with Miami Dade County Public Schools, school guidance counselors utilize a Common Sense Education Digital Citizenship program in grades K-12. Schools may earn the Digital Citizenship School Certification. Currently, Miami Beach Senior High has earned the Digital Citizenship School Certification. The other Miami Beach public schools have not earned or pursued this certificate.

Additionally, Miami Beach police assigned to Miami Beach public schools in the 2018-19 school year have requested from Miami Dade County Public Schools to utilize the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) material "Talking to Kids About Being Online" (see attached).


CONCLUSION: Staff is seeking direction on preferred approach to the request based on MDCPS program availability and Miami Beach police department planned in-school activities.
