A ribbon cutting was held this week celebrating work underway for Orange County's first Multicultural Center in Pine Hills.  Delayed by the pandemic, community leaders look forward to a safe and diverse gathering place to learn more about the many cultures of the area's residents.
  
Florida & National
Local school boards are dealing with newly elected members who have moved quickly to oust superintendents, propose strict boundaries on curricula and implement controversial restroom restrictions, thereby endangering federal funding.
