Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Thursday, September 18th, 2025.

We wake up to breaking news from Fort Worth ISD, where Superintendent Dr. Karen Molinar has revealed a new strategy to improve seven notably struggling campuses. These schools have received consecutive failing ratings, putting the district at risk for state takeover. Under the new plan, many educators and administrators at those campuses will have to reapply for their positions. The district will add staff and training under the state’s resource campus model, with more support on the way for these communities. Dr. Molinar will lay out the full details to the school board on September 23rd at district headquarters, so if your family is connected to these schools, stay tuned for updates.

We also welcome Fort Worth’s new police chief, Eddie Garcia, who steps into the role with a focus on reducing violent crime and rebuilding trust. After his swearing in yesterday, Chief Garcia emphasized building stronger community relationships as his top priority. We expect upcoming listening sessions across neighborhoods from Riverside to Wedgwood, giving residents the chance to voice concerns and help shape policing efforts.

On the real estate front, Lennar Homes has just announced the grand opening of the West Square community. This new neighborhood is offering single-family homes starting in the mid three hundreds, with floor plans from three to four bedrooms. Located with easy access to both downtown and the thriving Fort Worth Independent School District, it’s a boost for buyers seeking affordability and convenience. These homes come packed with modern features, including backup battery systems for power outages, aiming to attract families and young professionals.

Turning to jobs, the city continues to show robust hiring, particularly in healthcare on West Magnolia, hospitality near Sundance Square, and construction crews supporting the West Square development. Local recruiters report a steady demand for certified teachers and skilled trades, so it’s a good time for job seekers to check local boards.

We’ve got partly cloudy skies today, high temperatures just touching ninety, and a light breeze throughout the day. If you’re heading out for lunch at Clearfork or a walk around Trinity Park, it should be a comfortable afternoon, with similar weather holding through the weekend.

In community news, a Fort Worth couple has been left scrambling after their East Lancaster Avenue wedding venue suddenly closed without notice. Their experience is a cautionary tale for anyone planning large events, so double check those contracts and consider wedding insurance for peace of mind.

Fort Worth ISD is also celebrating gains at several elementary campuses that showed marked improvement over last year. The district points to innovative math programs and increased parent engagement as key factors.

For music lovers, the Panther Island Pavilion is hosting a free outdoor concert series this Friday featuring local bands and food trucks. There’s also a family movie night Saturday at Burnett Park downtown.

In high school sports, congratulations go out to Paschal High’s football team for their narrow win over Arlington Heights last night. And let’s not forget the Fort Worth Fire Department, whose community continues to rally around firefighter Caleb Halverson. Caleb is recovering from serious burns while his infant son remains in the NICU, and his family has received support from across Texas. If you want to pitch in, the fire department has more details on how to help.

Our crime report notes that police have increased patrols near Hulen Mall after a series of car break-ins. Officers arrested two suspects early this morning and continue to urge everyone to lock their vehicles and keep valuables out of sight. Otherwise, no major incidents reported overnight.
