The Miami-Dade County School Board agreed to pay nearly $1.9 million to the family of a student who was stabbed to death.
A fight between Coral Gables High School students Juan Carlos Rivera, 17, and Andy Rodriguez resulted in Rivera’s death.

Counsel noted a police officer who should have been on campus that day was in court instead.
