Old planes, new planes, home-built planes, military aircraft and more – all coming once again to the 8th Annual Cross City Airport Fly-in, Cruise-In & Business Expo, April 2, 2022, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Staff Reports - Tuesday, March 15, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 1048, which officially replaces the Florida Standards Assessment with progress monitoring to measure students’ growth. The legislation makes Florida the first state in the nation to transition fully to progress-monitoring for school accountability. Beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, Florida students will have three short check-ins instead of multi-day, end-of-year, high-stakes tests for English Language Arts and Mathematics. Progress monitoring will benefit students, teachers and parents by allowing for informed instruction in a timely manner, helping instruction to be tailored to each student’s individual needs.
