“I am delighted to congratulate Miami-Dade County Public Schools on being named the winner of the 2012 Broad Prize for Urban Education. This prestigious award recognizes the outstanding progress the district has made in raising student achievement, especially for low-income and minority students. After being named a finalist this year for the fifth time since 2006, Miami-Dade County Public Schools have distinguished themselves as nation-wide leaders in the effort to make sure all students are being given the first-class education they need to succeed and for communities to thrive. I commend Superintendent Carvalho, the School Board, administrators, teachers, and parents for their willingness to pursue aggressive and innovative strategies, and for their dedication to improving the lives of our county’s young people. I also congratulate the students of Miami-Dade County Public Schools for their remarkable academic performance and for empowering themselves through an outstanding education. I know that Miami-Dade County Public Schools will continue to build on this excellent achievement.”
