Today is the Primary Election, and when you step into the voting booth, you may notice a school millage rate listed on the ballot.
Arkansas law requires every school district to list its current millage rate on the ballot during the annual school election, even when no change is being requested.
Cross County School District is not asking for a millage increase.
This is not a new tax.
It does not raise your current rate.
The ballot simply reflects the district’s current millage, as required by Arkansas law.
We understand that ballot wording can sometimes raise questions, so we wanted to share this information clearly with our community.
If you would like additional details, our Administration Office would be happy to visit with you.

❄️ Snow Routes in Effect ❄️
Snow routes will be in effect as we return to school. Please review the attached graphics carefully, as they outline the routes that will be used while winter weather conditions continue to improve.
As you plan for the morning, please keep these safety tips in mind:
• Give yourself extra time when traveling to and from school, especially if you are dropping off or picking up a student.
• Please be patient during drop off and pick up, as traffic may move more slowly than normal.
• Snow and ice may still be hugging roadways, and isolated icy patches are possible, especially in shaded or less traveled areas.
• Remind your student to use caution when arriving on campus, particularly in areas where icy patches may still be present.
• Allow extra space between your vehicle and the one in front of you during drop off and pick up.

❄️ No School Monday, February 2, 2026 ❄️
After being out on district roads today, we have determined there are still major, lengthy ice spots on several highways. In addition, icy conditions have made it unsafe for buses to turn around in key and strategic locations throughout the district. Because of this, we are unable to establish safe and reliable snow routes for tomorrow.
School will be closed on Monday, February 2.
As we prepare to return to school, we anticipate operating on snow routes for the first few days once school is back in session. Those routes will be announced tomorrow so families have time to plan.
We miss our students and we are sure they miss us, too, but safety will always come first. Please continue to watch for updates through our usual communication channels. 💙🤍
