Guest Speaker

Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho

Miami-Dade County Public Schools

Mr. Carvalho is a nationally recognized expert on education reform and finance, as well as an outspoken advocate for high quality education for all students; he became Superintendent in September 2008. Under Mr. Carvalho’s leadership, M-DCPS’ business operations were restructured, resulting in an increase in financial reserves of over 2000 percent, despite the national economic downturn. By bringing a renewed focus to the classroom, student performance has improved significantly. In 2011, the District posted its highest high school graduation rate ever. In 2010, Mr. Carvalho was recognized by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce as the “Visionary Leader of the Year.” He has been featured on CNN, NBC, The New York Times, District Administration Magazine, The Christian Science Monitor, and Nightly Business Report.
