Maria Medina, principal of Miami Lakes Middle School, reported that her school was recognized by Magnet Schools of America and was among the top magnet schools in the country; she described strong results across grade levels and said the school's jazz band, theater and sports programs grew this year. School leaders from Bob Graham Education Center and others said they used EAB funds for vocabulary courses, robotics and STEAM supplies.

A high-school principal reported a 99% graduation rate for the year and said graduates earned approximately $22 million in scholarship offers; the school also produced a national merit scholar, QuestBridge scholars and students who graduated with both an AA degree and a high-school diploma. Principals across the district highlighted successes in robotics, debate, FBLA, environmental science awards and state- and national-level arts and athletics accomplishments.

Several principals described planned expansions for next year, including new ASD (autism spectrum disorder) preschool units at one school, a new planetarium dome opening in August at another campus, and the addition of chemistry, algebra II and AP Spanish at middle schools. Board members urged schools to nominate more students and teachers for next year's Awards of Excellence so the EAB can recognize accomplishments across the district.

The reports demonstrated a mix of academic, arts and athletic achievements and outlined next-year program and staffing priorities. No board action was taken; these were informational updates from school leaders.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Education Advisory Board Meeting | June 6, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Principals from Miami Lakes-area schools told the Education Advisory Board about test gains, robotics and STEAM expansion, high graduation and scholarship totals, and new ASD preschool units.","taxTitle","Miami Lakes, Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",55516,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6208767,"EAB names new student member; will begin attending next meeting",300,2940000,3240000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3740788-3239ba88ebbfa2da84cd9574a4cc0c27&start=2940&end=3240","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3740788-3239ba88ebbfa2da84cd9574a4cc0c27/thumbnail_2940000.jpg","/articles/6208767/Miami-Lakes/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/EAB-names-new-student-member-will-begin-attending-next-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208767-0bda6ca6eb20ae74acb8cba4bf0299f3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771130843&Signature=Gn1rbK6QlMwhBQkrYc1CsCcJjfFjzpJQ1nGQBYQi6XBUJOZv7He9gBJnFqwrvQoWFkR4L6RbE0n1-BHmw77lljBxVq6z79RX0A5Sp5-D0RqblxA6uOGcn2v5hrtK1tv-lc5FNji9ZktPjFrA6eG5e-UMjZDeKz8e2Rk1q6CZJlIsT8I2P1~UmYzpt1PbM7lVHeygqdC2IX2hn~Su81R2mXcgLKLJ2u0Dj0W51cJud0MC~e7CtlECCn7vYWzRTR7B1uazYO3pS5cceIC3Sxo0gFxkHZ9D2Vw6FPwVAjJnwu9suOQbaejC~T7VPEwRD7V5-xWl5EvzL4kALptrIimtwA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami Lakes Education Advisory Board completed a selection process and appointed a new student member to the board on June 9.

Committee members praised turnout, the food and program, and volunteer support but said the air-conditioning was insufficient the night of the event and that staff and volunteers had to confirm systems the day before. Members recommended a formal checklist and a facilities sign-off to ensure thermostats and equipment are set for high-attendance events.

The board also reviewed logistics for event supplies and book storage. Members said most books from the recent book drive have been boxed and placed in bins at the community center; a smaller set of decorations and awards remains at a temporary storage site behind Fil\u0000amento's and will be transferred to a permanent location. Delivery problems with grocery vendors were discussed; the board advised specifying drop-off procedures with vendors to ensure items are received before events begin.

Members agreed to inventory supplies a month or two ahead of major events, to convene with the mayor's office in January to coordinate retiree proclamations, and to clarify who at the town is responsible for pre-event facilities checks. No formal motion was recorded; members directed staff to implement the checklist and to coordinate storage transfers.","Board members said the Awards of Excellence was successful but flagged air-conditioning failures, delivery and storage problems, and recommended a pre-event facilities checklist and clearer storage arrangements.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6208772,"Miami Lakes EAB agrees to seek larger Imagination Library allocation",900,1560000,2460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3740788-3239ba88ebbfa2da84cd9574a4cc0c27&start=1560&end=2460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3740788-3239ba88ebbfa2da84cd9574a4cc0c27/thumbnail_1560000.jpg","/articles/6208772/Miami-Lakes/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Miami-Lakes-EAB-agrees-to-seek-larger-Imagination-Library-allocation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208772-833aa8a615a993a82470dd323065866b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771130843&Signature=N4fvS0dppTKo2AqgImY6JMyg-Rm99K2Tb8VFjc76vEaMAEYF~q~FaRp2vKwz0pnWdueboI9yMg34dqaU-m8UgYAzGGNepd5iEiCFn0QMNpOBAhDe2EAxVpgQzzxM4MXetxgyX0Ov13izuj4RJ~7tsQ0o~RcAgCI1N~zgpV-Li7EBbEhtIzpvY2RgdQz72Pap~ZFBxIQKd-hgFy2YtRp0ezVlx1yL-EfWeIaq6FOYlwiYQne0QO09GEp2XbyQfNzlNdiHKs9GHW6hzzj4zsu4gegv295mH7qjMv4vNW5Zp7W3Yar~yZG-tCRjA1MIV8Gfc7i5GGjrY6alPNvlwyNqgg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami Lakes Education Advisory Board on June 9 agreed to request that the Town Council increase the board's Imagination Library allocation to $7,000 for the coming fiscal year.

Board members said the program, which mails books to young children, has seen per-child costs rise and that the current $4,000 line no longer covers participation levels. Staff told the board invoices have ranged from about $5.20 to $5.70 per child in recent months.

Board staff reviewed the EAB's overall allotment of $45,500 and noted the existing breakdown: a $1,000 event budget, $4,000 to Friends of the Library, $4,000 for the Imagination Library in the current year, and $10,000 for STEM grants to schools. Staff reported $2,900 in sponsorships had been received and $2,720 in event actuals had been posted.

Committee members said they preferred to keep most line items the same and raise only the Imagination Library budget because the program is \"all in or not,\" meaning partial participation is not supported by the vendor. The board agreed to increase the requested amount to $7,000 and to submit the revised budget request to town staff for presentation to the Town Council.

The board directed staff to prepare the paperwork for the council submission and to follow up on any outstanding credit-card postings that affect available event funds. The EAB did not record a roll-call vote on the change during the meeting; members indicated consensus support and staff said they would turn in the revised budget paperwork to the town.","The Education Advisory Board agreed to ask the Town Council to increase the Imagination Library line from $4,000 to $7,000, citing rising per-child costs and steady program demand.","actionData","errors"]
