The School Board of Miami-Dade
County is comprised of nine members elected by the people. They
serve four-year terms and are elected from individual single member
districts on a staggered basis. The following link will direct you
to the Miami Dade Elections Page. Members annually elect
their chair and vice-chair. The board moved from seven members to
nine members, a result of a court order intended to ensure fair
representation amongst Miami-Dade County's ethnic groups.
