Dear Fort Worth Report friend,
Good morning!
In your Wednesday Report: Our lede examines why a new education nonprofit released nine report cards detailing school performance by each of the eight City Council districts and the overall city. Reporter Jacob Sanchez reports that more schools in the city earned a D or F rating on the student achievement measure than those that got an A or B. Those behind the new report say this has to change.
Also, a post-pandemic education model? Find out why Fort Worth ISD’s summer school could pave new path.

ON TAP: Sports card trading has become a big industry and a way for people to make money as they buy cards and resell them online. Reporter Rachel Behrndt finds that card collecting has moved from a kids’ hobby to a serious business. 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.
