SUPERINTENDENT ALBERTO M. CARVALHO SIGNS RENEWAL    
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH ITALY

Superintendent of Schools Alberto M. Carvalho and Consul General Adolfo Barattolo signed a renewal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) and the government of Italy today at the Consul General of Italy in Coral Gables.

The MOU has been in effect since 2005, providing Italian language instruction to approximately 1,000 M-DCPS students. The renewal MOU provides students with the opportunity to become literate in both English and Italian. They also can pursue an academic curriculum with an international focus that addresses the rigorous standards of both U.S. and European Union educational systems. Three M-DCPS schools offer an Italian dual language program: George Washington Carver Elementary, George Washington Carver Middle, and International Studies Preparatory Academy.
