At the School Board Meeting on October 8, 2025, School Board Member Danny Espino, District 5, proffered agenda item H-6, authorizing the Superintendent of Schools to initiate discussions with representatives of the PGA TOUR regarding the 2026 tournament in Doral, Florida, for the purpose of exploring the feasibility of a partnership that provides mutually beneficial opportunities, including but not limited to educational programming, workshops, internships, and community engagement activities, where aligned with curriculum standards.
The goal of this potential collaboration is to create unique educational and career-readiness opportunities for Miami-Dade County Public Schools students. These could include internships, curriculum-based workshops, and behind-the-scenes exposure to careers in event management, sports marketing, hospitality, and media production.
“As a School Board member, I believe learning truly comes to life when it’s connected to real-world opportunities. A partnership with the PGA TOUR will open an incredible pathway for our students to gain priceless hands-on experience,” said Board Member Espino. “This initiative is about unlocking our students’ potential by giving them a front-row seat to dynamic careers and inspiring them with the limitless possibilities that follow their education.”
Pursuant to agenda item H-6, administration will report back to the School Board with findings and recommendations, including, if deemed appropriate, potential partnership structures, at the Fiscal Accountability and Government Relations Committee Meeting by January 7, 2026.
