Members said school resource officers already coordinate rapidly with Hialeah Gardens and other agencies when incidents occur. The board discussed Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training for officers and cited past sessions — including an autism safety 101 program led by a trainer who has a son with autism and who partners with CARD — as useful for first responders.

Board members recounted a recent incident in which a child who was not registered in the town's tracking program briefly left campus; staff said rapid local response, aided by a family phone call, allowed a quick reunification. Members urged continued coordination between town programs, schools and law enforcement and recommended exploring a campus drill or a special‑needs‑focused scenario that replicates elopement so officers can practice response procedures.

No formal actions were taken; members asked staff to consider future training and to follow up on coordinating exercises with the police and school resource officers.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Miami Lakes Live Stream","oneSentenceSummary","Members discussed coordinating with police on special‑needs safety, existing Crisis Intervention Team training, and a recent incident involving a child not enrolled in the town's tracking program.","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},6179134,"Board members praise Family Cafe conference, propose planning a group trip next year",314,3890000,4204000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5133568-043b808e14ad263c4926c105639893a3&start=3890&end=4204","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5133568-043b808e14ad263c4926c105639893a3/thumbnail_3890000.jpg","/articles/6179134/Miami-Lakes/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Board-members-praise-Family-Cafe-conference-propose-planning-a-group-trip-next-year","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179134-a94f869ab075fe3afff5180ee12cef28/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138520&Signature=a15QVCKexeXjCIMbvdjdLM1tMin95PFkpV~9MqvxrO3pi3EKnPqat4r8iWRuQvBsYYDJ6EOdGFiADDZg4rEPVX~MecwYbUPLCBQcYiS2T9OMZ286MIy4YdJcDqURw-FF2Tj~Je-4xlqOsvdQ7u4pya8Tlz1gCRBB6Rq9w65VEVVOZ7E22VAO2x7FmVO5pMxS3cgN0TdAuWDxrDaRQrxKQpbhoBIzZ9nLR5wbdyoJGghz3gZo41-pwK25tganeszBpPDXKxNn7uyzsdK2rOsVuRsQOsJTj6Vjr0OT27Gh4IfMav6GTEs-uhyGWLNjLjcZhpklFe7p10tlI13HztBxkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several Miami Lakes advisory board members who attended the Family Cafe described the conference as informative and empowering and proposed organizing an official board trip for the next year.

Members said the conference provided direct contacts with state education and disability services officials and practical resources for families. One member described learning about alternative funding and programs after discovering her younger child’s school funding had been cut.

Board members discussed timing and budgeting for a future trip, noting that travel and registration could exceed $700 and would require council approval. Proposed dates mentioned for future attendance included June 12–14 of the following year; members agreed to place the item on a future agenda and prepare a formal request to town council if the estimated cost exceeded prior small allocations.

No formal budget allocation was approved at the meeting; members asked staff to research dates, costs and the council approval process so the board can make a formal request.","Three board members who attended the Family Cafe returned with strong praise and proposed organizing an official trip next year; members discussed budgeting, council approval and the event's value for advocacy and resource connections.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6179140,"Miami Lakes agrees to host Miami‑Dade pilot interviews, approves up to $200 for snacks",168,3692000,3860000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5133568-043b808e14ad263c4926c105639893a3&start=3692&end=3860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5133568-043b808e14ad263c4926c105639893a3/thumbnail_3692000.jpg","/articles/6179140/Miami-Lakes/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Miami-Lakes-agrees-to-host-MiamiDade-pilot-interviews-approves-up-to-200-for-snacks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179140-0af1398f073e69c0d0dba6123c5525e7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138520&Signature=l4-h3ugAl~B2QRlpXQv5ltVffZvxrvntiluzHlE0NAscBUyIrenjO6~AUeijMpvFysBcpom5T3O21FE~EvAfum~z1NWoKHp-oum13OWSiIg55~hzfmOWg3wk~~64~jCHnMEqUeVrznw2dEcbYBr80aOEu-wuJab9VR08~MQdQ-nn5dkQv27HZ5EoI9sQM8KcZPbJcmF69ryX3GfbwbkXp~v7ojL6lhLSuWYpRvl7vWtYIvSv9gP40zl5sBAMdh8A6hu1l0lMBc759IPT69m7Pg-ZAWb3QSGWQAMx2qx3lRzewEYDgSV3HR8qd0vTBgEbYMwlwpHoxeEXvG5TAC3tmQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami Lakes Special Needs Advisory Board agreed to offer the town chambers as a location for Miami‑Dade County Public Schools to conduct interviews for a new adult pilot program and approved up to $200 to provide snacks and drinks.

Board members said the sensory room will run during the evening fireworks activities and asked staff to staff the site and confirm setup times. The motion authorized custodial coverage roughly from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. with a cap of $200.

Board discussion focused on logistics: volunteers to staff the room, when to set up (board members discussed arriving as early as 9 a.m. or 10 a.m.), and an indoor placement that should protect the activity from routine thunderstorms. Members also noted the fire marshal would have final authority on outdoor setups and that the event is planned “rain or shine” unless severe wind or a hurricane forces cancellation.

The board directed staff to confirm final setup times and volunteer sign-in arrangements. The motion to pay custodial costs not to exceed $200 was approved by voice vote.","The advisory board approved up to $200 to hire a custodial worker to clean up after the Fourth of July sensory room event and discussed setup, volunteers and weather contingencies.","actionData","errors"]
