New York charter school operator Success Academy,...

Voters rejected Virginia Key redevelopment deal. What happens to the marinas now?
On Tuesday, about 65% of Miami voters rejected an $80 million redevelopment plan for two city-owned marinas and waterfront land on Virginia Key. It was the second time in recent years that voters rejected a long-term lease of the almost 28-acre property, which includes the Marine Stadium and Rickenbacker marinas. But Tuesday’s rejection of Miami’s Referendum 3 doesn’t mean the current operator of Rickenbacker Marina — and its tenant, the Gramps Getaway bar and restaurant — gets to stay forever. Instead, it takes commissioners right back to the drawing board on an issue that has plagued the city for over a decade — with many of the same players vying for the valuable chunk of land. Moving forward, the City Commission could decide to put out a new request for proposals and take another bid to voters in the future, or commissioners could decide that the city should run both marinas itself. The city already runs the Marine Stadium Marina. Commissioner Damian Pardo told the Miami Herald he would be looking forward to new proposals, seeing it as an opportunity to “start from scratch.” “I would like to see a lot of community input and strong community benefits with a

Miami Carol City football players, parents sue FHSAA in last-minute playoff plea
This story has been updated with new information. Another high school football program has turned to the courts in an effort to keep its playoff hopes alive, but its legal challenge has hit an immediate roadblock . A Miami-Dade County judge on Friday, Nov. 6, denied an emergency request for an injunction filed by 11 Miami Carol City (FL) football players and their respective parents or guardians, leaving the Chiefs' postseason ban in place for the 2026 high school football playoffs. Attorney Jason Setchen of AthleteDefender and Coffey Burlington filed a verified complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief on Nov. 4 in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. The lawsuit named the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) as the defendant and seeks temporary and permanent injunctive relief. I have tremendous respect for the FHSAA, but I think that what they did to Miami Carol City Football by imposing a post season ban on the entire team, which includes many kids who did nothing wrong, is overreaching and unfair. https://t.co/CYOynAultr — Jason Setchen (@AthleteDefender) November 6, 2026 The plaintiffs argued that the FHSAA's decision to ban Miami Carol City from postseason competition unfairly punished players who were not involved in the Oct.

Linda Cothiere wins in close race for Miami school board seat in District 1
First-time candidate Linda Cothiere won a seat to the Miami-Dade School Board in a tight race over former Miami Gardens City Council Member Katrina Wilson. Cothiere will replace former School Board Member Steve Gallon, representing the predominantly Black North Dade District 1 for the next four years. With only one precinct outstanding, Cothiere was leading Wilson by more than three percentage points — 38,070 votes to 35,671 for Wilson. Her win was something of an upset. Cothiere garnered a much lower vote share than Wilson did in the crowded eight-person August primary to Wilson. She only beat the third-place candidate by about two percentage points. Cothiere, a Haitian-American public school educator who is married to Democratic State Representative Wallace Aristide, excelled in precincts located in North Miami and North Miami Beach, where there are significant Haitian communities. Though Cothiere was not the initial pick of the United Teachers of Dade, who supported longtime educator Joy Jackson in the August primary, she was endorsed by the teachers union in the general election. “A classroom teacher’s perspective belongs at the table where decisions about our schools are made. Educators see every day how decisions about staffing, resources, and working conditions affect students’
