Miami-Dade County Public Schools is a countywide school
system, and it is the fourth largest system in the nation.
Management of schools is totally independent of metropolitan
and city governments. The metropolitan government collects
the school tax for the school system, but exercises no control
over its use.
The nine-member School Board is elected by single member

Board auditorium each month on a Wednesday at one
o’clock.
Responsibility for administration of schools is vested in the
District Superintendent, appointed by the Board. Each of the

and parents, and partnerships with businesses.
