Miami-Dade County Public Schools

School officials noted that administration acted swiftly upon learning of the claims in April 2026, immediately removing Cardoso from the school setting the following business day.

The district emphasized that such behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances and confirmed Cardoso is permanently banned from seeking future employment with Miami-Dade Public Schools.

It remains unclear if Cardoso has retained legal counsel.

More crime and justice news after this.

A fifth victim told police that Cardoza told her he wanted to kiss her, but when he leaned in toward her, she turned her head.

On Monday, September 14th, Miami-Dade County Public Schools released a statement saying they are deeply troubled by the disturbing allegations against this individual.

That was according to a local NBC6.

The school administration acted swiftly upon learning of these allegations in April 2026 and removed the teacher from the school setting on the next business day.

Encourage them to talk and speak up.

So we did reach out to Miami-Dade Public Schools who released this statement that read in part, school administration acted swiftly upon learning of these allegations in April of 2026 and removed the teacher from the school setting on the next business day.

The individual separated from Miami-Dade Public Schools in May of 2026 and was arrested on September 11th of 2026.

Behavior of this nature will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

As for Cardoso, he does remain behind bars now being held with no bond.

Mm.

So I got my hands on the arrest report from Miami-Dade Public Schools, and it reveals the 53-year-old Sunset Park Elementary instructor pulled these schoolgirls.

One, uh, alleges that she was targeted since the end of third grade-

Wow.

So as the rolls shrink, whole schools lose eligibility.

Miami-Dade County Public Schools, where more than 500 schools had qualified for universal free meals, has ended them at most of those schools.

Losing free school meals costs a family roughly $1,000 per student a year.

Hunger, disease, and a bill sent to the states? food banks cannot replace what is lost through food stamp cuts.

So we already have an entrenched system where school districts refer to themselves as, "We're a Google district," or, "We're a Microsoft district," or, "We're an Apple district." And so imagine that if you are a wealthy suburban district that a- can afford to buy MacBooks for all the middle schoolers and high schoolers and iPads for all the elementary schoolers, and Apple comes with a new thing, you know, it's gonna fit with the system you're using, and you're gonna wanna use maybe the Apple coding lessons.

And if you are a huge district like Chicago Public Schools or Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and you are a Google district and your students all have Chromebooks, or you're a Microsoft district and Google comes and says, like, "You can just start using Gemini with your students," and because you already have all the software and apps that Gemini will be embedded in.

And so part of it is the, like, incumbent advantage in school districts, and then when you see newcomers trying to break into this market.

So OpenAI, with its ChatGPT chatbot, is one of the newcomers.

So what are some of the ways that the different companies who make different chatbots are trying to get their chatbots into the schools now?

Different companies are trying different avenues to get their AI chatbots into schools, and different school districts are doing different approaches to AI in schools.

And I visited Miami-Dade County Public Schools, which is the third largest US school district, because they had decided to give Gemini, the Google chatbot, to every high school student.

That's more than 100,000 students.

And the counts...

The first day counts from last year to this year, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, MDCPS, 19,000 less students this year.

Broward also took a dive.

I think it was about eight.
