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
districts. Regular, open meetings are generally held in the
Board auditorium each month on a Wednesday.
Responsibility for administration of schools is vested in the
District Superintendent, appointed by the Board. Each of the
district’s schools is assigned to one of three Region Centers,
STATISTICAL HIGHLIGHTS which provide support for schools, advocacy for students
and parents, and partnerships with businesses.
