M-DCPS TO HOST BOND PROJECT KICK-OFF EVENTS

Superintendent of Schools Alberto M. Carvalho, School Board members and community leaders will participate in a series of special events taking place across Miami-Dade County to kick-off school bond projects resulting from the overwhelming voter approval of the $1.2 billion General Obligation Bond. The bond will be used to modernize and construct school buildings throughout the district, expand student capacity, enhance facility safety, and provide technology upgrades at all schools.

Upgrades and new buildings for school sites are well into the design process, in preparation for construction. New wireless infrastructure has been installed, paving the way for schools to move into the digital age.

By taking full advantage of today’s technology and digital learning environments, and replacing or updating aging school buildings, the school district is making it possible for all students to have access to cutting-edge academic programming and modern safety and security measures.
