A change of superintendents alone will be grossly inadequate, when the entire public school system needs to be overhauled in order to create effective, efficient and productive operations for the benefit of present and future generations of children as well as the taxpayers of Miami-Dade County. The Miami-Dade County Public School System is earning failing grades in such critical areas as school safety, school construction, and school maintenance. The system has been sadly lacking in accountability and productivity for many years, and the cumulative effect has created a significant impediment to the well being and achievement potential of the county's children. The citizens and taxpayers of Miami-Dade County are paying for a superb public school system, but far too often, that is not what gets delivered. School officials, county and municipal officials, parents, teachers, students and others all need to work together to overcome the barriers to progress.
Significant improvements are clearly possible.
Insist upon accountability and productivity from the Miami-Dade Public School System.
