M-DCPS Student Membership

June 2000





Miami-Dade County Public Schools is a countywide school system and it is the fourth largest system in the nation.

Management of the schools is totally independent of metropolitan and city governments. The metropolitan government collects the school tax for the school system but exercises no control over its use.

The nine-member School Board is elected by single member districts. Regular, open meetings are generally held in the Board auditorium each month on a Wednesday at one o'clock.

Responsibility for administration of the schools is vested in the District Superintendent, appointed by the Board. The school district is divided into six regions, each with a region superintendent and administrative staff.

* With the exception of Miami-Dade County, the cost per pupil has been computed by Educational Research Service, Inc. by dividing the total district's projected operating expenditures (per adopted annual budget) by K-12 student membership as of Fall 1998. For Miami-Dade County, the "Cost Per Pupil" represents the actual expenditure per full-time equivalent K-12 pupil (PK-12 Programs).

** Does not represent actual or typical class size. Ratio has been computed by dividing student membership by total number of classroom teachers.
