NORTH TEXAS (CBSDFW.COM) –  School districts are scrambling after Governor Greg Abbott announced the state-wide mask mandate would be rolled back next Wednesday, March 10. Districts across North Texas are now waiting for the Texas Education Agency to issue new guidance. “If the governor was going to lift the mandate, wouldn’t the Texas Education Agency have some type of guidance prepared and ready?” asked President of Texas AFT Zeph Capo. Capo said he hopes districts will be allowed to continue with their current masking practices. He’s unclear though on if that will happen because the TEA guidance directly refers to the governor’s mask mandate. For now, Dallas ISD plans to continue following CDC guidelines. In a statement, the district said it doesn’t anticipate changes before the end of the school year. Fort Worth ISD plans to continue with current requirements as well, absent new guidance from the TEA. “My advice to parents would be that they should advocate with … [Read more...] about What North Texas School Districts Have To Say About Gov.

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Dr. Philip Huang told County Commissioners Tuesday morning, it’s too early to do away with all COVID-19 restrictions. “Just because there’s some relaxation (of policies) at the state level, that is not what our experts recommend,” Dr. Huang said before Gov. Greg Abbott’s announcement it’s “time to reopen Texas 100%” “It’s still too early,” Dr. Huang said. “We would love to be able to get back to normal, but with all the variables that are out there, we still have a lot more people that need to be vaccinated. It’s not the time to relax.” New COVID-19 cases and hospitalization rates have been trending down in North Texas and much of the state in recent weeks. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins tweeted his displeasure with Gov. Abbott’s announcement, saying, “… On the day 25 new deaths raise @dallascountytx death toll above 3k , @GovAbbott lifted all his state orders designed to protect you and those you … [Read more...] about Dallas County Judge And Health Director Say It’s ‘Still Too Early’ To Fully Reopen Texas

It looks as though a little re-assembly may be required on the biggest prototype yet of Elon Musk's Mars Starship . The early version of the next generation SpaceX rocket appeared to fail during a pressurization test, sending billowing clouds of gas and its hood miles into the air at the company's Boca Chica, Texas test site on Wednesday. A webcam streaming from nearby South Padre Island caught the "anomaly" that occurred at 3:27 p.m. Central Time. A more distant view catches the sizable hood falling back to the ground: "The purpose of today's test was to pressurize systems to the max, so the outcome was not completely unexpected," a SpaceX spokesperson told CNET. "There were no injuries, nor is this a serious setback." Fortunately, SpaceX also has another prototype - "Mk2" - at its Florida facilities, so we may still see the next phase of Starship development soon. On Twitter, Musk said SpaceX will take the opportunity to move on to its next iteration, "Mk3," which he … [Read more...] about SpaceX Starship pressure test blows up Musk’s Mars rocket prototype
