Superintendent Elia is holding a Parent Information Meeting on the new Florida Standards on Monday, September 8 at 7 pm at Grady Elementary. This meeting will show parents how the new standards will change what their children will be doing in the classroom. The Florida Standards stress critical thinking and require students to backup their answers with evidence from textbooks and other materials.
