MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission/Governing Board
Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
FROM: Dr. Geoff McKee, Principal, Don Soffer Aventura High School
Angel Lewis, Sr. Financial Analyst, Charter Schools USA
DATE: May 11, 2022
SUBJECT: Proposed 2022/2023 Don Soffer Aventura High School Budget
Attached is the proposed 2022/2023 Don Soffer Aventura High School ("DSAHS") Fund
Budget (Fund 191) which will be effective from July 1, 2022 —June 30, 2023. This represents
DSAHS' 4t" full year of operations. The budget was designed to meet the educational
requirements that accommodate 9t", 10t", 11t" and 12t" grade students, while continuing to
employ staff that possess the leadership qualities that will help DSAHS achieve full enrollment
over the next year.
Budget Implications Resulting from the Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic
At the time this budget was prepared and for the last two years, COVID-19 has caused major
disruption in international and U.S. economies and markets. Due to the fear of further spread
of the virus, many of our societal norms have been altered due to quarantines, the
cancellation of events and the overall reduction in business and economic activity.
As we have seen, the impacts and responses to COVID-19 on a global, national, state and
local level continue to evolve. With the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in FY 2021, things
are slowly returning to normal and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Since the
pandemic's full financial impact is unknown at this time, the Administration has prepared a
conservative budget by holding most operating revenues and expenditures relatively flat and
increasing teacher compensation where needed.
As the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine continues and with the infusion of various Federal
funding programs (i.e., CARES, GEER and ESSER), School operations will continue to
stabilize and completely return to a "traditional" environment in the coming year.
The budget was prepared in a collaborative effort by CSUSA, including their Sr. Financial
Analyst, staff members from several different divisions, and the DSAHS Principal. In addition,
the budget has also been reviewed by the City Manager and the Finance Director. The budget
will appear on first and second reading on May 12t" and June 14t", 2022, respectively.
i
The following are the major highlights of the 2022/2023 budget:
• The school budget is based on a projected enrollment of 800 9t", 10t", 11t" and 12t"
grade students. This is the school's first year of full enrollment.
• No City subsidy is budgeted for the FY2022-2023 year.
• Includes 63 full-time equivalent employees at a projected cost of $5,089,333 and is

Organization and Operations
The School is a special revenue fund found within the City's financial statements. The School
commenced operations in the City in August 2019 and for the 2022/2023 school year will offer
classes for 9t", 10t", 11t" and 12t" grades with a projected enrollment of 800 students. The School
is funded by public funds based on enrollment and may be eligible for grants in accordance with
state and federal guidelines, including food service and capital outlay. The School can accept
private donations and the City can incur debt for its operations.
Reporting Entity
The School operates under a charter granted by the sponsoring school district, the Miami-Dade
County Public School District (the "District"). The current charter is effective until June 30, 2034
but provides for a renewal of up to 15 years by mutual agreement of both parties. In August 2019,
the School opened its doors to 200 9t" graders. In August 2020, the School expanded its
enrollment to 415 students to include 10t" grade and in August 2021, expanded its enrollment to
620 to include 11t" grade. Grade 12 will be added with approximately 200 additional students for
each grade level, in August 2022.
The School is owned by the City and is operated through a management agreement as described
below. The School is part of the City's government and is not a separate legal entity or otherwise
organized apart from the City. The City was incorporated in November 1995 and operates under
a Commission-Manager form of government.
Management Agreement
The City previously entered into a management agreement with Charter Schools USA, Inc.
("CSUSA") to provide those services necessary to organize, manage, staff, operate and maintain
the School. The agreement expires on June 30, 2024, with a five-year renewal option by mutual
agreement of both parties and provided that the District extends the charter granted to the City.
Total management fees projected to be paid to the management company for fiscal year
2022/2023 are $375,696. The other expenditures that are reimbursed to CSUSA from the City
relate to teachers' salaries, benefits and all related operational costs.

A. CSUSA PAY PRACTICES
CSUSA salaries are competitive with the surrounding area schools but structured differently, with a greater emphasis on
performance-based pay. For base salaries, pay bands have been established to a minimum, midpoint, and maximum scale by
which job families can grow with merit increases.CSUSA will budget criteria,incentives,and other motivating factors to attract,
reward and retain the best employees.A salary worksheet will be used to calculate starting salaries in a fair&consistent manner.
Below are the basic criteria utilized to determine starting salaries.
Base Salary for Teachers in their initial year(10 Month)
• Positive Adjustments to initial base for Experience, Previous Outcomes,Critical Shortage Areas/Special Consideration,
if applicable and based on Budget

• Other Compensation:(to be reevaluated annually and subject to funding availability)
o $3,500 in lieu of the Miami-Dade County Referendum will be added as a stipend to Teacher base pay
• $-3,000 Negative Adjustments to base (prior to HB increase) if met all requirements and waiting for Certification
documentation
B. PERFORMANCE BASED COMPENSATION
Research supports the notion that people are motivated through achievement,recognition,and growth opportunities.Moreover,
studies indicate that not only does this contribute to the retention of high-quality staff, but also positively impacts student
achievement.Consequently,the School will adopt a performance-based compensation plan that includes:
• Merit increases for faculty and staff are determined by a robust evaluation tool based on the research of Robert
Marzano,in alignment with statutory requirements
• Participation in various programs to provide incentive bonuses for teachers
• Performance bonuses for Administration based on Academic Performance,Enrollment/Growth and Culture metrics
• School wide performance incentive goal—provided to faculty and staff at schools that achieve predetermined school
wide academic improvement goals
• Stipends(supplements)are offered separately from base pay for Additional Academic Responsibilities,Title 1 Schools,
Critical Teacher Shortage Areas,Bottom 2 School improvement categories,etc.
C. MERIT INCREASE SCHEDULE
Final Level Instructional staff member scores are calculated by combining the Instructional Practice and Student Performance
components of the final evaluation. Please see the school's approved evaluation plan. Budget will determine the Effective
teacher's percent increase.This percent increase will fall between 50%-75%of the percent increase that Highly Effective teachers
receive per statutory requirements.
CSUSA PERFORMANCE EVALUATION RESULTS INSTRUCTIONAL INCREASE*
Level 1:UNSATISFACTORY/DEVELOPING/NEEDS IMPROVEMENT 0%
Level 2:DEVELOPING/NEEDS IMPROVEMENT 0%
