During the September 2023 Commission Meeting in North Miami Beach, a significant focus emerged on the pressing need for new schools in the area, as development projects continue to surge. Terrence Kamenzouli, a resident from Sunray West, voiced his concerns about the impact of ongoing construction on local schools, highlighting that the Board of Education has not established any new schools in over 25 years.

Kamenzouli pointed out that while the new developments are expected to bring positive changes and increased revenue to the city, they also lead to a growing population of younger families. He stressed that this demographic shift necessitates additional educational facilities, as current schools are already over-enrolled. "We need more schools to allow this property development to happen," he stated, urging developers to collaborate with the county to address the educational needs of the community.

The discussion underscored a critical intersection of urban development and educational infrastructure, with Kamenzouli warning that without adequate planning for schools, the city may need to reconsider the pace of new projects. The meeting concluded with a call for action, emphasizing the importance of balancing growth with the community's educational requirements.
