  • Fort Worth ISD Revamp, New Police Chief, and Real Estate Updates

    Fort Worth ISD Revamp, New Police Chief, and Real Estate Updates
    2025/09/18
    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.

  • "New Fort Worth Police Chief, School Overhauls, and Local Charity Giving"

    "New Fort Worth Police Chief, School Overhauls, and Local Charity Giving"
    2025/09/18
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Thursday, September 18, 2025.

    We start the day with a major development out of City Hall. Eddie García has just been sworn in as our new police chief at City Hall this week. He brings years of experience from Dallas and Austin, and listeners may want to note his focus on transparency and accountability in law enforcement. García says he’ll measure his department’s success by having fewer crime victims in our city. He's making recruiting new officers a top priority, especially as Fort Worth continues to grow quickly.

    Turning to breaking education news, Fort Worth ISD is rolling out a new plan to help struggling schools avoid state intervention. Three middle schools—Morningside, William James, and Wedgewood—as well as several elementaries along Western Hills and Clifford Davis will shift to a resource campus model next school year. There’s a big change ahead for educators, who will need to reapply for their jobs, and the district is promising different compensation and more professional development. It’s a move aimed at boosting student achievement and keeping local control for our schools. The school board votes next Tuesday, so we’ll keep listeners updated on the outcome.

    On the weather front, we’re looking at clear skies and mild temperatures around 78 degrees this morning, climbing into the mid-80s by midday. That calm stretch will hold through the evening, with a slight breeze easing up any late rush hour traffic. It’s perfect weather for outdoor activities or after-school sports, and there’s just a whisper of rain in the forecast for early next week.

    In business news, downtown is seeing some new activity with a couple of local cafes on Magnolia Avenue reopening after summer renovations, and one new boutique set to open near Sundance Square this weekend. Some listeners may have noticed a few retail closures along Hulen Street, mostly small shops shaking up their fall lineups. The job market in Fort Worth is holding steady, with about 8,400 local positions posted online this week, ranging from hospitality to tech support and healthcare roles.

    For those interested in real estate, median home prices in Fort Worth right now are holding around $361,000, with slightly more properties on the market compared to last month. That’s keeping options open for buyers and giving sellers a touch more competition.

    We also have a heartwarming story this morning— the Sturgeon Family Foundation made a generous donation to several Fort Worth charities. The money will go toward educating our community about alternative cancer therapies, empowering women, and even supporting canine organizations. It’s always inspiring to see local families making a big difference.

    Crime updates from the last 24 hours include a few minor traffic incidents downtown and a public safety alert after a late-night disturbance near Berry Street. Our police are responding quickly, and new Chief García reaffirms his commitment to increasing patrols in busy areas.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, Fort Worth hosts the annual ArtsGoggle festival along South Main, with dozens of artists, live music, and food trucks Friday and Saturday. Local high school football teams notched a couple of impressive wins last night—Paschal High sealed a close victory at home while North Side High took a strong lead at Farrington Field.

    Before we wrap up, here’s a quick tip for travelers. DFW Airport saw a bit of drama last night when an American Airlines passenger cut ahead in line to catch a flight, sparking debate on travel etiquette. So give yourself a little extra time if you’re flying out today.

  • "Fort Worth News: City Hall Controversy, Election Recap, and Local Highlights"

    "Fort Worth News: City Hall Controversy, Election Recap, and Local Highlights"
    2025/09/14
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Sunday, September 14th, 2025. Let’s get started with what’s making news in our city today.

    We begin at City Hall, where Fort Worth Councilwoman Elizabeth Beck remains in the spotlight. She’s facing increased scrutiny from the public after a controversial social media post about Charlie Kirk’s assassination circulated in recent days. Security has since been stepped up, with the city allocating police protection for Beck, a move sparking debate on the use of taxpayer dollars for councilmember safety, according to the Dallas Express.

    Meanwhile, Fort Worth has re-elected Mayor Mattie Parker in a landslide victory. Parker secured just under 70 percent of the vote, a clear sign of confidence from voters across the city. She’ll continue to focus on growth, public safety, and new economic development initiatives. Many of us can expect to see her push for expanded green spaces and dive deeper into affordable housing policies over the next term.

    Looking ahead, today’s weather gives us a break from the intense summer heat. The National Weather Service reports we’re in for a partly cloudy day. Highs reach the mid-80s with a slight chance of rain in the evening. If you’re heading out to the Trinity Trails or planning a Sunday picnic at Trinity Park, conditions look just about perfect until about sunset. The next few days promise a similar pattern, warm but more comfortable, with a gentle breeze sticking around for the start of the week.

    On the real estate front, the Fort Worth market is showing its first signs of cooling off since the start of the year. Median home prices hover near $370,000. Area realtors say listings are staying active about 12 days longer than this spring, giving buyers a little more breathing room.

    For job seekers, Cook Children’s Health Care System is hosting a major hiring fair Wednesday at their main campus on Eighth Avenue. With more than 200 positions open, roles range from entry-level housekeeping to experienced nurses, and interviews are happening on site.

    Downtown continues to buzz with new business activity. Magnolia Avenue is welcoming a brand new farm-to-table bistro opening this Friday, while fan favorite Panther City Vinyl just announced they’re expanding their music space and adding live shows on weekends. Sadly, longtime coffee shop Daybreak Café on Rosedale will close its doors this week after nearly two decades.

    In community sports, the Paschal High Panthers edged out Arlington Heights Friday night with a late touchdown at Farrington Field, delighting a packed stadium of fans. Over at TCU, the Horned Frogs women’s soccer team delivered a thrilling win, coming from behind to beat SMU 3 to 2.

    On the public safety front, Fort Worth police report a quiet Saturday night overall but there was a break-in on the 2800 block of Hemphill, which officers believe was an isolated incident. Neighborhood patrols have been increased in that area.

    If you’re looking for something to do, the Stockyards are set for the annual Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering this weekend, with live music and ranch rodeo events running Friday through Sunday. Central Market’s Taste of Texas food fest starts tomorrow, showcasing local chefs and producers—always a treat for food lovers.

    Let’s end with a feel-good story. Volunteers from the Southside Community Center spent Saturday morning building raised garden beds at Daggett Elementary. Students will soon harvest their own vegetables for the first time, part of an award-winning nutrition program.
