  • Annual Report
    ANNUAL REPORT FY 2012-2013 As per County Ordinance, the Miami-Dade County Youth Commission is to submit an annual report to the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners of Miami-Dade County, Florida. The annual report contains both internal recommendations to continue the progress that was made during the 2012-13 fiscal year as well as external recommendations for consideration of the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners. OUR HISTORY The Miami-Dade County Youth Commission was created by County Ordinance in 2011 as part of the vision of Commissioner Barbara J. Jordan, District 1. Its purpose is to provide young people with a vehicle to participate in the process of county government. Motivated students from each Commission district represent and articulate the needs of youth in Miami-Dade and advise the Mayor and Board of County Commissioners on matters affecting the youth population. Through the collaborative efforts of Miami-Dade governmental officials and departments, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and other community supporters, the Youth Commission is a positive model for young people: Officials hear firsthand what concerned teens have to say, have the opportunity to educate them about the governmental process, and create a symbiotic relationship between youth and County. The Miami-Dade County Youth Commission consists of twenty-six youth commissioners and four ex-officio commission members. These Youth Commissioners are handpicked by county commissioners through an interview and selection process in which the best-suited youth are selected to serve on the Miami-Dade Youth Commission. These Youth Commissioners provide a voice in the county government for the youth: the non-voting citizens of the county who are affected by the decisions of the elected officials.

During the 1985-86 school year, a committee of principals and other administrators reviewed the concepts of SBM from a different viewpoint, using various materials that addressed the professionalization of education and of teaching.

Included are a summary and principles of SBM and shared decision making (SDM); requests for proposals to schools that wish to participate; a discussion of budget procedures under the school-based system; outlines of a documentation process and an evaluation plan; and other practical documents that can be used by school systems in their efforts to implement an SBM/SDM system.

The nine-member School Board is elected by single member districts. Regular, open meetings are generally held in the Board auditorium each month on a Wednesday at one o’clock. Responsibility for administration of schools is vested in the District Superintendent, appointed by the Board. Each of the district’s schools is assigned to one of six Access Centers, which provide support for schools, advocacy for students and parents, and partnerships with businesses.
