Superintendent Alberto Carvalho

Alberto Carvalho said he hopes the school board fast-tracks a plan to adopt new books and restore the sex ed curriculum — especially since state law requires health classes to cover teen pregnancy and teen dating violence.

Jose Dotres, who spent three decades in Miami-Dade public schools as a teacher and administrator, will replace outgoing superintendent Alberto Carvalho,.

A school board with ideological divisions over charter schools, the role of police, budget priorities and more: That's what Alberto Carvalho will need to manage in his next role, explained KPCC education reporter Kyle Stokes.

The state keeps coming after school districts over mask mandates. School districts are going after the state in court. Plus, redrawing political districts across the state.

Those who died include teachers, bus drivers, a security worker and a cafeteria manager. "It is a bruising statistic that we need to absolutely internalize," said Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho.

Florida’s largest school district is joining Alachua and Broward in requiring students to wear face coverings. The moves go against an executive order by Gov. Ron DeSantis requiring such policies to be voluntary.

The largest school district in Florida will mandate masks for the school year that starts Monday, joining two others in defying Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
