Great results from serious people who care about child learning. @StasiKamoutsas, @PresMannyDiazJr and @richardcorcoran have done enormous work over the past 7 years, and the @SUS_Florida has been an enthusiastic partner in making sure Florida's state universities are among the best in the nation...objectively so.
Florida delivered real results for students in 2025. From rising student achievement, historic investments in teacher pay, nation-leading school safety initiatives and expanded school choice options, we continue to put students first and remain #1 in education. I'm proud of this

The Statesville (N.C.) Airport is shut down due to the Cessna Citation corporate jet that crashed at 10:15 a.m. in poor weather conditions. The identities of those on board the jet and those who died in the crash have not been released. The jet was owned by #NASCAR champion Greg Biffle who played an instrumental role in rescue efforts after the remnants of Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina and East Tennessee last year.
