Feb. 24 Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to make teachers next in line for the COVID-19 vaccine in Florida. But not all educators will be able to get the shot immediately. The state is hoping to expand its vaccination efforts to include teachers between the ages of 50 to 64 as early as next week, DeSantis said Tuesday in Hialeah. That would make about 8,478 teachers in Miami-Dade County Public Schools .

In addition to her duties as a school and community liaison, Acevedo will also oversee staff professional development and handle the districtâs public relations duties. Also, Acevedo will supervise professional growth in the district with an emphasis on non-instructional staff, Axford said in a news release.
