概要

 Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Saturday, February 7th. We kick off with breaking news from our schools: Fort Worth ISD has lost its appeal against a state takeover, clearing the path for Texas Education Agency leaders to appoint a new board of managers and superintendent in the coming weeks. District trustees call it deeply disappointing but stress they will keep focusing on student safety and success during the transition, with daily classes unchanged for now. This stems from ongoing academic challenges at the former Forest Oak campus near Interstate 30.

Shifting to city hall, council recently approved the Fiscal Year 2026 budget, raising the tax rate by about half a percent, which means roughly two dollars more per year on a hundred thousand dollar home for maintenance like roads and parks around City Hall on Weatherford Street.

In tough crime news from the past day, one person sadly died in a house fire last night in the 3800 block of Wilbarger Street, just west of Highway 287. Fire crews found heavy flames and pulled the victim out, but they passed at the scene. Arson investigators are on it, as with all fatal fires.

Our feel-good story comes from the Stockyards, where the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo wraps up today at Dickies Arena. At 9 a.m., do not miss the livestock auction featuring White Castle, the 1450-pound grand champion steer raised by 13-year-old Caiman Cody from nearby Tolar. His family poured a year and a half into this buddy, and past champs have fetched up to 400 thousand dollars. Stick around for the 1 p.m. high school rodeo shootout, 7:30 p.m. PRORODEO, and Blue Water Highway at 10 p.m. The event powered through that recent ice storm, keeping indoor fun going.

New business buzz: Phase two expansion at the Historic Stockyards Hotel and H3 Ranch moves forward after last years city approval, boosting jobs in the area.

Weather today stays chilly after the storm, with highs near 45 degrees under partly cloudy skies, perfect for indoor rodeo but bundle up for outdoor walks along the Trinity Trails. Expect the same tomorrow.

Community events ahead: Code Rangers neighborhood cleanup starts soon, lifeguard tryouts for city pools next month, and a TCU talk on womens safety tomorrow evening.
