Many in the South Florida community are calling it "The end of an era." After nearly a decade representing District 1 on the Miami-Dade County School Board and almost 40 years in public education, Dr. Steve Gallon III announced that he will resign from the School Board as he prepares to take office as the next Miami-Dade County Commissioner for District 1 in January 2027. Today, June 9th at 12pm was the deadline to file to qualify for Miami-Dade County District 1 race. As it stands, Gallon has been the only candidate to file and qualify for the election, making him the winner of the District 1 race without opposition.

"Serving as District 1's School Board Member has been one of the greatest honors of my life—educating and serving children and the community has been my life," Gallon said in a statement. "Together, we demonstrated what is possible when communities invest in children, support educators, and maintain high expectations for student success. While my service on the School Board is coming to an end, my commitment to the people of District 1 remains unchanged."
