MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
DATE: February 14, 2020
SUBJECT: Recommendation to Accept Don Soffer Aventura High School
Out-of-Field Waiver
February 20, 2020 Special City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 2.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Governing
Board of the Don Soffer Aventura High School, accept the out-of-field waiver list as
outlined in this memorandum and recommended by Principal McKnight.
BACKGROUND
The Miami-Dade County School Board requires the Governing Board of each charter
school annually to accept a list of teachers considered out-of-field. Teachers working on
additional certification or endorsements for subjects that they are teaching are considered
out-of-field until requirements are met. All teachers hold current certification. The
additional certification or endorsements are extra credentials. This is a typical practice
as teachers expand their professional development.
Below is a listing of instructional staff members who are working toward additional
certification in the following subject areas:
Out of Field Assignments
Rochel Chancerel - Mathematics
