The Miami-Dade School Board has voted 6-3 to select Dr. Jose Dotres as Miami-Dade County’s next school superintendent.
Monday night’s decision came after a special meeting, held at the School Board Administration Building in Miami, which began at 2 p.m.
It took the school board nearly nine hours for members to go through the public comments and interview each of the three candidates before they voted.
Dotres replaces outgoing Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, who is leaving to run the Los Angeles school system.
He will leave behind his current position as Deputy Superintendent of Collier County Public Schools. He also used to be an assistant superintendent in Miami-Dade County.
