concept and requested that then Florida Commissioner of Education Frank T. Brogan
pursue statewide implementation.

In the past, the School Board has reacted to a vacancy when there was no objective
criteria in place to help guide it through the important decision making process
of selecting individuals for these important positions. Being one of the largest

holding these two positions meet and surpass minimum criteria for effective performance
of their jobs.

environment in which children feel safe from physical harm is crucial in achieving
this goal. Recent reports finding that M-DCPS are in violation of fire safety

Florida Charter School Legislation became effective in July 1996 and subsequently,
The School Board of Miami-Dade County, Florida, approved School Board Rule 6Gxl3-6A-1.47,
Charter Schools, on July 24, 1996. The first Florida Charter School commenced
operation within Miami-Dade County Public Schools in the 1996-l 997 school year.
Since its enactment, the Charter School Legislation has been amended several
times for the purposes of clarifying the intent of the law; modifying Charter
School application, implementation, and operational procedures; and improving

B-13 INCLUSION OF A MECHANISM TO ENSURE.
STUDENTS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND SPECIALIZED
SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS IN THE DISTRICT
In April of 1999, the District Court ordered the District to report to the
Court by September 30,2000 regarding whether the District believes that it has
achieved unitary status in its desegregation case, Pate v. Miami-Dade Comfy
School Board. As a result of the April District Court order, the District is
in the process of conducting a unitary status analysis. In conducting this analysis
and in developing any plan that may result from this analysis, the Superintendent
and legal counsel shall include in the plan a mechanism to ensure that students
from diverse backgrounds have the opportunity to attend specialized schools
and programs.

(b) any plan shall modify the definition of diversity that the District currently uses from Black/Non-Black to one that includes the major racial and ethnic groups of students that now are enrolled in the District as well as other diversity factors, such as socioeconomic status.
B-14 FIRE CODE INSPECTIONS
Any actual and any perceived danger to our students must immediately be
addressed.
To ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff, it is important
that we work together with the greater community to avoid confusion and misunderstanding.
I propose that School Board staff meet immediately with concerned municipalities
to discuss the state fire codes under which we operate, with special attention
to determining how they differ from local municipal codes. The purpose of this
meeting would be to enlighten all parties and clarify the responsibilities of
each entity. I further suggest the meeting be facilitated by a state official
who is familiar with fire code standards, as they are applicable to public schools.
ACTION PROPOSED BY DR. MICHAEL KROP: That staff meet as soon as possible
with representatives from interested municipalities to discuss the state fire
codes under which we operate, and how they differ -if at all- from local municipal
codes. The purpose of this meeting would be to enlighten all parties and clarify
the responsibilities of each entity. To facilitate the meeting, the State will
be asked to assign an official who is familiar with fire code standards as they
are applicable to public schools.
