You Won’t Believe What’s Missing from the Miami-Dade Public School Calendar! When reviewing the 2024–2025 Miami-Dade Public School Calendar, one striking revelation is what’s conspicuously absent—and it’s more than just a forgotten field trip date. Educators, parents, and students alike are puzzled and concerned over a critical gap: comprehensive Spanish-medium programming gaps across several high-need schools. ### The Surprising Omission: Bilingual Education Setbacks While the Miami-Dade County Public Schools boast one of the largest and most diverse student populations in the nation—with over 300 languages spoken—the 2024–2025 academic calendar conspicuously lacks a robust, district-wide commitment to expanding dual-language immersion and Spanish-English bilingual education pathways. Instead of integrating these programs more fully, key schools in underserved districts have scaled back or eliminated existing Spanish-track options, leaving many multilingual students without access to rigorous, dual-language academic tracks.
