Dear Fort Worth Report friend,
Good morning!

Also, Mattie Parker is Fort Worth’s new mayor elect, after she beat Deborah Peoples in Saturday’s runoff election. Reporters Jessica Priest and Jacob Sanchez report that the trial of a former police officer will test the new mayor during her first days on the job.
And, a Republican State Board of Education member wants Abbott to veto critical race theory ban.
Here are a couple of key headlines from our recent coverage you might have missed:
- How much federal stimulus money is in Fort Worth?

ON TAP: Fort Worth ISD administrators consider their summer school program the first step in a years-long process to recover learning loss caused by the pandemic. Education reporter Jacob Sanchez reports that education experts say this could be much more than that. It could be a new model for education to go beyond its traditional boundaries and include other social and emotional services to make children more well rounded. We will have that story later this week, so make sure you check back here often for new reports.
As always, thanks for reading, and please let us know what you want in your Report.
