Short Title:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
GARDENS, FLORIDA, CREATING THE EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION
TEMPORARY AD HOC ADVISORY COMMITTEE; PROVIDING FOR A
SUNSET DATE; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF
REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
.
The City of Miami Gardens and Miami-Dade County public schools first adopted the
Miami Gardens Education Compact on April 18, 2007.
The Excellence in Education Council Board is currently inactive. On April 19, 2017,
Councilman Williams held a public workshop. At that workshop it was determined that
it would be necessary and more effective for the new board members to be appointed
by the City Council.
18605 NW 27th Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Councilman Williams is proposing the creation of a temporary ad hoc Excellence in
Education Council Committee (“Committee”), with each Council member and the Mayor
appointing one (1) member, for a total of seven (7) members.
The primary responsibility of this “temporary” ad hoc Excellence in Education Council
committee would be to advise the City Council on reinstating the Excellence Education
Council Board and bringing back recommendations to the City Council as it relates to the
composition of the Board as well as to make recommendations on the goals and
objectives of the Board. Since the Committee will have a limited purpose, it will
terminate upon on final recommendations made to the City Council or one year after all
appointments have been made whichever comes first.
Proposed Action:
That the City Council approves the attached Resolution.
