Miami Dade County issued the following announcement on Aug.18.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava released the following statement:
“Protecting our children must be a top priority as we continue to combat the serious threat of COVID-19. I applaud the Miami-Dade School Board and Superintendent Alberto Carvalho for following the science and putting the health and wellbeing of our children first. Wearing a mask is one of the simplest tools we have to stop the spread and protect the lives and livelihoods of those in our community – particularly for those not able to be vaccinated.
I have faith that if we all do our part, if all those who are eligible get vaccinated, and if we continue to listen to medical experts, we can and we will overcome this pandemic.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the members of the School Board, Superintendent Carvalho, and teachers and staff across Miami-Dade County Public Schools who have worked around the clock to care for and educate our children in the most difficult circumstances. I wish you all a very safe, successful school year.”
