MOVING MIAMI-DADE FORWARD
The Superintendent's County-wide
Listening Tour
Your Voice.
Our Next Steps.
The Countywide Listening Tour brings the superintendent directly into each School Board voting district to hear what students, families, employees, and residents believe Miami-Dade County Public Schools must address first.
Questions the community will explore
The superintendent will visit all nine School Board voting districts to hear directly from the people who experience the school system from different perspectives. Each conversation will identify urgent concerns, local strengths, operational barriers, and opportunities that should shape the district’s immediate priorities. The same core themes appear at every stop, with room for issues unique to each district.
