Boone Highland Oaks Elementary and Highland Oaks Middle <br /> established the "Partnership in Education" program with the main objective of raising funds that <br /> would be utilized for their students directly. They propose to create and maintain a computer lab <br /> in the middle school and hire paraprofessionals in the elementary school to help alleviate <br /> overcrowding. There are currently a total of 611 students from Sunny Isles Beach attending <br /> these schools, 145 in the elementary school and 466 in the middle school. <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> Virginia A. Boone Highland Oaks Elementary School was originally built for 600 students and <br /> currently enrolls 1,076,with 26 to 38 students per classroom. Highland Oaks Middle School was <br /> originally built for 1,250 and currently enrolls 2,048 with 37 to 42 students per classroom. These <br /> numbers are expected to increase each year. <br /> Additionally, both are "A" rated schools and it is the desire of the program to assist the schools <br /> in maintaining that level of success. This program will directly benefit the students in these <br /> schools. <br /> CJR/SS/pw <br /> Agenda Item <br /> Partnership In Education Donation Agenda Memo <br /> Date <br />
