After Haiti earthquake, influx of students never arrived in Miami schools

From The New York Times: After the earthquake last year in Haiti, theMiami-Dade school district expected to enroll thousands and thousands of survivors arriving from the devastated country. A year later, the district has 1,403 survivors — the highest number in the nation, but far below what was predicted. The district also expected most evacuees to be poor; but many were not. Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho says most of the earthquake survivors who sought out Miami schools “were definitely middle and upper-middle class.”
