Miami-Dade County Public Schools will reopen Monday September 18, 2017 as the Superintendent requested.

I would like to extend my appreciation for the amazing work done by the DCSMEC family. The endless hours worked to be able to achieve the opening of schools and the professionalism that you have portrayed has impressed the entire district immensely and I am honored to represent you.

As I  followed each step of the process I realize it was the most important project thus far for our community and its success was of the utmost importance to get a sense of normalcy back to Miami-Dade County.

Your selfless dedication to leave your family many without power and answer the call of  civic duty and dedication  should be a source of pride to the district and a wake up call of the importance of a strong maintenance force.

I once again want to thank you for your extraordinary effort.

After the storm you need to contact your  appropriate hotline number for details related to your work sites and the need for you to return to work.

Hurricane Irma is a major and life threatening storm and I urge the membership to get prepared, current forecast models have Florida in Irmas path. Here are some suggestions from the National Hurricane Center.

Before a Hurricane

Know your evacuation zone,
find locations of nearest shelter

Decide where you will ride out the storm

Review your insurance policies

Trim trees and shrubs

When a Hurricane Threatens

Fill car with gas

Get cash

Stock up on supplies

Bring in lawn furniture and other loose items

Anchor objects that can’t be brought inside

Secure boat

Board or shutter windows

Set refrigerator and freezer to coldest settings

Prepare emergency water supplies

Freeze water in plastic jugs

Protect valuables and personal papers in waterproof containers

As I’ve traveled around our district I have seen some pretty amazing individual accomplishments that help advance the educational experience for staff and students. When put together, they are a record of achievement few, if any other district can match.

Above all, they reflect the immense talent and leadership that you and your colleagues in the DCSMEC family bring to fruition every day. We are stronger because of your dedication. I am very grateful for your efforts and very proud of your performance.

Once more we have risen to the challenge and accomplished our task of a successful opening of school, students and teachers are safe and comfortably at work molding and shaping future leaders. Thanks to your hard work.

This weekend take some time to enjoy some well deserved rest and relaxation with friends and love ones. Please keep in your prayers our brothers and sisters in the Huston area who have lost so much due to flooding and hurricane disaster.

My sincere best wishes for you and your families on this Labor Day weekend.
