Title

The School Community Relations Committee minutes of October 19, 2018, requesting that the City Commission increase the board’s membership from seven members to eleven members, to fully cover the eleven schools under the board’s purview.

Body

At the October 19th School and Community Relations Committee (“SCRC”) meeting, Carmen Manrara made a motion to increase the SCRC’s membership from 7 board members to 11 board members, so that each public school under the SCRC’s purview has a dedicated board member, with the suggestion that the additional board members serve as board-as-a-whole appointments. Mary Snow seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 

 

The eleven schools under the board’s purview are Coral Gables Preparatory Academy, Sunset Elementary, George Washington Carver Elementary, David Fairchild Elementary, Frances Tucker Elementary, Henry S. West Laboratory School, Ponce de Leon Middle, George Washington Carver Middle, International Studies Preparatory Academy, Somerset Academy, and Coral Gables Senior High.
