Cohen, City Manager <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />12/15/2011 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Approval of Agreement with MD School District for the Expansion of the <br />Norman S. Ede1cup Sunny Isles Beach K-8 <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />Approve the Agreement <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />This agreement between the City of Sunny Isles Beach and the Miami-Dade School <br />District provides the funding mechanism and timetable for the expansion of the Norman <br />S. Edelcup Sunny Isles Beach K-8. Twelve (12) new classrooms will be added to the <br />structure to alleviate student overcrowding and allow for the reopening of the art and <br />musIc rooms. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />Since the Norman S. Ede1cup Sunny Isles Beach K-8 opened a few years ago, the student <br />enrollment numbers have far exceeded projections. Due to the increase of student <br />numbers beyond the capacity of the originally designated classroom configuration, art <br />and music rooms have been converted to regular classrooms. <br /> <br />In order to ensure that all children legally residing in the geographic area served by the <br />school can both attend the school and receive a comprehensive education that includes art <br />and music classes, the number of classrooms in the school needs to be increased to <br />accommodate a higher number of students. <br /> <br />The agreement contains a cost-sharing arrangement in which the City is committing up to <br />$2 million for this expansion project. Design work is slated to begin this coming spring <br />and the new classrooms are slated to open in the fall of 2013. <br /> <br />http://sibagenda.sibfl.net/agenda/Preview.aspx?I temID=668&MeetingID=0&MeetingDate... 12/9/2011 <br />
