Miami-Dade Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho took to Twitter, reacting to yet another youngster killed in the county:
A precious life in our community, stolen at age 15. Together we must refuse to allow the murders of our children to become the new normal. — Alberto M. Carvalho (@MiamiSup) February 1, 2017
