HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DANIEL: This issue is the Education Edition, which comes just in time for the start of the 2023-24 school year. Sugar Land and Missouri City reporter Joe Edwards put together several news reports and features focused on public education, with our front- page story being a deep dive into Fort Bend ISD’s budget dilemmas as officials await state action. The Education Edition section starting on Page 15 begins with a breakdown of FBISD’s enrollment, staff and administrative salary information and more. An explanation of the latest changes to the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness tests can be found on Page 18. Some of these stories were published first online at communityimpact.com, where you can also subscribe to our daily newsletters.
