One of the state’s most important topics and one of its most important regions will get more attention.  I’m excited to announce two major moves in our newsroom that will boost our ability to cover topics hugely important to our state: education and the Houston region.  First, we’ve hired one of the leading education reporters in Texas: Megan Menchaca.

Newly formed commission set to advise Fort Worth on data center regulations

August 1205:00 AM
 

A commission of community members, academics and industry experts is set to research and evaluate Fort Worth’s data center developments, then give city leaders recommendations on how to regulate them.   The Data Center & Infrastructure Commission was formed Tuesday to conduct a “comprehensive, fact-based evaluation,” focusing on data centers’ impact on electricity and energy, water and economic development. The commission will also consider setback, noise, lighting and other development standards based on community concerns around data centers to ensure they aren’t concentrated in historically industrialized or underserved neighborhoods.    The commission is charged with delivering a report of recommendations to the council at their Nov. 3 work session.    Michael Slattery, an environmental professor at Texas Christian University and director of its Institute for Environmental Studies, is the chairman of the commission and will choose its 11 members.  view article  arw

Despite federal efforts to drop some children’s vaccine recommendations, Texas requirements unchanged

August 1108:43 AM
 

Public health officials said some parents are confused about what vaccines are required to attend Texas schools amid efforts to change recommendations.   While vaccine requirements have not changed for Texas students this year — despite federal efforts to drop and space out some inoculations — Becca Harkleroad understands how many parents are confused.   “Despite all the confusion that hits the news … nothing’s changed,” said Harkleroad, the executive director of the Texas School Nurses Organization.  In January, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dropped the rotavirus, COVID-19, influenza, hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines from the recommended list. But a federal judge in Massachusetts — and a Biden appointee — halted that move in March, keeping the pre-2026 vaccine recommendations in place. The federal government is appealing that decision. view article  arw

Trump calls Texas’ data center opposition a “mistake”

August 1008:31 AM
 

The president’s comments to Punchbowl News come just days after Gov. Greg Abbott issued a statewide pause of approval for data centers trying to connect to the power grid.  President Donald Trump this week criticized Texas for being anti-data centers, just days after Republican Gov. Greg Abbott paused industry-wide approvals until the companies provide the state with more information on things like power and water use.  “I saw Texas the other day sort of is against data centers,” Trump said in a nearly hourlong sit-down interview with Punchbowl News released Friday. “I think it’s a mistake. And I’m not taking positions, I just think it’s a mistake, because there are other communities that want it. When a community wants it, it means a lot of money is going to come into that community.” view article  arw

Black-majority schools in Texas receive more Fs than A ratings, leaving parents with tough choices

August 1005:00 AM
 

Black Texas families weigh whether to send their children to schools with more academic resources — but potentially fewer of their values.  Jaleel is attending his first day of classes this month at a middle school opening its doors for the first time that specializes in air traffic control, commercial drones and engineering.  His parents decided not to send him to the majority-Black, F-rated campus closer to their home in Fort Bend ISD. Still, they fear their sixth grader may lose out on the community and support that come with receiving an education alongside kids in his neighborhood.  “This is a very difficult thing,” Mikole Montgomery, Jaleel’s mother, said of the choice to bypass Missouri City Middle School. “I don’t take the decision lightly.”  Black children attend schools labeled as failing by the Texas Education Agency at a far higher rate than any other racial or ethnic group. Majority-Black schools are the least likely to achieve the state’s highest academic rating. view article  arw

On the first day of school, her teacher recognized her talent and moved her into pre-AP Algebra I, where she thrived.Two years later, at the beginning of the last school year, Aubrie was excited to take pre-AP Algebra II. She had always loved math and imagined a bright future in science. But three weeks into the school year, she and nearly 2,000 other juniors across Houston ISD’s 16 New Education System (NES) high schools were abruptly pulled out of Algebra II and placed into a remedial math course called Algebraic Reasoning/Texas College Bridge.  This move was not made to help students grow academically. Instead, we believe students were moved into this less rigorous course to artificially inflate campus accountability ratings, at the expense of student learning. Just sitting through the Algebraic Reasoning course and clicking through the online modules increases a school’s A-F rating, even if students never pass the state’s college readiness assessment attached to the class. It’s a loophole that state-appointed Superintendent Mike Miles is exploiting at an unprecedented scale. view article  arw

But it leaves some questions about the program unanswered, and some data required by law wasn’t released. view article  arw
