Together, these improvements aim to create a cohesive, functional, and aesthetically pleasing environment, as well as honor the memory of Assistant Principal Bonachea, and provide lasting benefits for students, staff, and the broader community. Project Overview: This project involves two initiatives: 1. Artificial Turf Installation: To improve the appearance, durability, and functionality of the landscaped areas outside iPrep Academy by replacing existing materials with high -quality artificial turf. The new turf will match existing installations and enhance the visual continuity of the campus. The design prioritizes long-term sustainability, reduced maintenance needs, and the ability to withstand heavy foot traffic and varying weather conditions. 2. Pollinator Garden Dedication: To create a small but impactful pollinator garden as a living tribute to Assistant Principal Bonachea, whose contributions to the school community left a lasting legacy. This thoughtfully designed green space will feature native South Florida plants that attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. It will serve as both a memorial and an educational resource, maintained by students and the PTSA, with lesson plans developed to support environmental learning. Scope of Work: Artificial Turf Installation: • Clear area of grass, debris, and protruding roots • Cap off any nonfunctioning sprinkler heads • Grade, level and compact entire area with up to 3" of pea rock and concrete screening sand • Create a concrete perimeter around entire area and existing manhole cover for subbase retention and turf adhesion • Install weed guard barrier where necessary • Install artificial turf (Multi Sport) • Glue all seams with seam tape and outdoor commercial grade turf adhesive • Glue all edges to concrete perimeter with outdoor commercial grade turf adhesive • Spread infill over entire area as per manufacturers specs • Brush with power brush if necessary • Clean area of all work debris Pollinator Garden Installation: • Design and installation of a compact, pollinator -friendly garden with native plants suited to South Florida's climate • Reuse of existing plants from other areas of the campus where possible to minimize waste and promote sustainability • Creation of educational signage and materials, including lesson plans focusing on biodiversity, native species, and local pollinators • Establishment of a maintenance plan led by students and the PTSA to ensure the long-term health and appearance of the garden Impact: The combined efforts will transform the school's outdoor environment into a more sustainable, educational, and welcoming space. The artificial turf installation will improve campus aesthetics and functionality, while the pollinator garden will provide a unique opportunity for environmental stewardship, scientific exploration, and remembrance of a beloved educator. Request Alignment with the 2019 Omni CRA Redevelopment Plan The proposal to install new artificial turf at iPrep Academy, along with the creation of a pollination garden near the school's main entrance, aligns closely with the goals outlined in the 2019 Omni CRA Redevelopment Plan. As recognized by the City of Miami, Omni CRA, and the Miami -Dade School Board, this centrally located property falls within the heart of the CRA's redevelopment area and is well -positioned for meaningful improvements that serve both the school and the broader community. This initiative reflects the shared priority among public entities to pursue a community - focused mission rather than profit -driven development, with an emphasis on creating lasting, visible benefits for local residents. The installation of high -quality, low - maintenance artificial turf supports this mission by enhancing the aesthetic appeal, safety, and usability of outdoor spaces, contributing to a healthier and more inviting urban environment. In addition, the planned pollination garden will serve as a lasting tribute to Assistant Principal Bonachea's remarkable impact on students and staff. This green space not only honors his legacy but also functions as an educational resource, featuring lesson plans that promote environmental literacy, biodiversity, and sustainability. Maintained collaboratively by students and the PTSA, the garden reinforces the CRA's commitment to civic engagement and educational enrichment. Together, these improvements contribute to the CRA's goal of reinvesting in School Board properties in ways that elevate the quality of life, foster environmental stewardship, and prepare public infrastructure to accommodate growing use, advancing both immediate and long-term redevelopment objectives for the community.

The PTSA is a duly organized and active local unit operating under the Florida PTA, originally chartered on May 15, 2015, and recognized under its group exemption, as outlined in supporting documentation. The PTSA bylaws were last executed on May 27, 2025, in accordance with applicable requirements. Per Florida PTA guidance (www.floridapta.org/bylaws/), local unit bylaws are required to be reviewed and submitted for approval at a minimum of every three (3) years and are not required to be amended upon each change in officer positions. As such, the presence of prior officer information within the bylaws reflects the timing of the most recent approved bylaws cycle and does not impact the validity of current officer authority or governance. Due to the timing of officer transitions during the 2025-2026 term, certain organizational documents reflect different officers at different points in time. Specifically: • The PTSA bylaws were executed under prior leadership. • Subsequent approvals and official actions occurred following the transition in presidency. • Current banking and operational records reflect the duly elected current President. The Board hereby confirms that: Leslie A Del Monte is the duly elected and acting President of the iPrep Academy PK-12 PTSA and is fully authorized to execute documents, agreements, and financial instruments on behalf of the PTSA, including but not limited to matters related to the Omni CRA Beautification Grant.

Florida PTA is the largest statewide volunteer association advocating exclusively on behalf of children and youth. Founded in 1923, as a branch of National PTA, Florida PTA is made up of 1,400+ local units with more than 200,000 members seeking to unite home, school, and community for all children. As a 501(c)(3) not -for -profit educational organization, Florida PTA is authorized to accept tax deductible charitable contributions in coalition with state and local agencies cooperating to influence policy makers on the health, education, welfare, and safety issues affecting children and youth. The Florida PTA is an association with County Council units throughout the state. The County Councils are comprised of our local units, mostly school based, in their areas. All members of the local unit automatically become members of the Florida PTA and National PTA. The local unit presenting this letter, IPREP ACADEMY PK-12 PTSA in MIAMI-DADE County, is an active PTA. They are a subordinate organization, under our group exemption, GEN 2149, of the Florida Congress of Parents and Teachers (DBA: Florida PTA), under the IRS Code of 1986. This PTA was originally chartered on 05/15/2015, as an unincorporated association. In accordance with PTA bylaws, the association is NOT incorporated or registered on SUNBIZ with the Florida Department of State. Their EIN is 473849547. Please note for your records that LESLIE DEL MONTE has been duly elected as PTA President for the 2025-2026 school year. Per PREP ACADEMY PK-12 PTSA bylaws Article VII, Section 5: Three members of the Board of Directors are required to be on file with the bank, with two signatures required on PTA checks and debit/credit transactions. Following are the THREE officers to be added as signatories for 2025-2026: KAREN MARTINEZ, Treasurer MARTHA VANEGAS YUHARA, Vice President 2 MERCEDES GARCIA, Ways and Means Chair Per the IRS Code of 1986, Section 170(c), donors may rely upon the central organization's (Florida PTA) verification with respect to deductibility of contributions to subordinates (local PTA units) covered under Florida PTA's 501(c)(3) group exemption ruling, GEN 2149.
