 Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Sunday, November 2nd. We start off with breaking news from overnight on the 287 interchange. A distracted driver crashed into a fire engine that was parked to protect a previous accident. Luckily, all firefighters had stepped away moments before and were not injured, but the truck driver and passenger were taken to the hospital. This incident reminds us all to stay alert on our roads.

At city hall, there’s major debate following the state’s plan to take over Fort Worth ISD. The Texas Education Commissioner announced last week that the current school board and superintendent will be replaced, citing poor student performance, especially on the criticized STAAR exams. Only about 34 percent of Fort Worth students are at grade level, which prompted the move. Still, parents and teachers from Northside to Stop Six say the decision isn’t fair, calling the tests themselves flawed. A town hall is being organized this week at the district offices for families to share concerns and hear from new leadership. Our public schools have cut staff and programs due to a 44 million dollar deficit budget, so these changes could impact daily life for thousands across the city.

Turning to the weather, after a chilly start, we’re expecting mostly sunny skies and pleasant temperatures all day. Today is perfect for outdoor activities, and we’ll stay dry through the evening. Looking into the start of the week, we can expect mild afternoons but another cold front is possible by Thursday, so keep the jackets handy.

In real estate, Fort Worth’s housing market continues to see moderately priced homes, with average sale prices now around 325 thousand dollars. The rental market remains competitive, especially near Southside and the TCU campus. For those looking for work, Randstad says jobs in healthcare, logistics, and technology are hotter than ever. Local employers are consistently hiring in hands-on and office-based roles. If you’re looking for flexibility or growth, now is a great time to apply.

New business activity is buzzing downtown, with three new coffee shops opening this weekend along Magnolia Avenue. However, longtime favorite Blue Bonnet Bakery on Camp Bowie has announced it will close at the end of the month after serving generations.

On the local sports front, Paschal High’s football team clinched a playoff spot after a tight win on Friday night at Farrington Field. In community sports, the Cowtown Marathon announced registration for February’s event with early signup discounts now live.

For upcoming events, tonight’s highlight is the Fort Worth Symphony’s outdoor concert at Burnett Park starting at 6 PM. The Cultural District is hosting Dia de los Muertos festivities all afternoon, featuring local music, food trucks, and family activities.

A quick look at the crime report: besides last night’s highway accident, police responded to a burglary on Hemphill Street and made arrests in a downtown robbery case near Sundance Square. Authorities urge everyone to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity.

For a feel-good story this Sunday, volunteers from Riverside set up a pop-up pantry on East Belknap yesterday, handing out fresh produce and hot meals to nearly two hundred families. It’s a great reminder of the kindness that lives in our city.
