Miami's Choice Tsunami: Carvalho, Competition, and Transformation in Miami-Dade
Matus, Ron
Education Next, v20 n1 p29-40 Win 2020
Today, nearly three quarters of Miami-Dade students are enrolled in choice programs. That makes Miami-Dade the most choice-rich district in arguably the most choice-rich state. Parents and teachers who live in Miami-Dade now access more than 500 non-district schools that didn't exist or weren't accessible 20 years ago, and everybody knows even more options are on the way. In Florida, innovation and disruption now bubble up from every direction. In Miami-Dade, it's surging from a particularly aggressive charter school company, from proud little private schools, and from off-the-grid homeschooling moms. This article examines Miami-Dade school choice program and the superintendent, Alberto Carvalho.
