MIAMI (WSVN) – The Miami-Dade School Board has selected Rafael Villalobos as the county’s new superintendent of public schools.
Villalobos, the county’s current South Region Superintendent, was unanimously approved to lead the district following a months-long process that led to him becoming a finalist alongside Ernie Lozano, Broward County Public Schools’ chief human resources officer.
Villalobos will replace outgoing M-DCPS Superintendent Dr. Jose Dotres, whose contract ends in February of 2027.
