Dallas and Garland school leaders share projected A-F grades ... and more news

from The Dallas Morning News · host The Dallas Morning News

Dallas school leaders braced for a C rating for the district, down from the B it earned in 2021-22, but Texas’ official academic accountability grades are on hold once more because of a lawsuit. Garland ISD, meanwhile, is projected to score a B, as it did two years ago. The two districts had dozens more campuses earn Ds or Fs this year, compared to those that were not rated the last time grades were released, according to estimates. Also, McKinney is turning a new page in its literary scene with the launch of a festival dedicated to spotlighting the voices of local and up-and-coming authors. The Roy and Helen Hall Memorial Library is holding its first literary fest. And a massive night of professional wrestling is heading to North Texas. On Thursday, All Elite Wrestling’s CEO and general manager Tony Khan, alongside Arlington mayor Jim Ross and a group of the wrestling promotion’s top stars, announced that the pay-per-view event “All In Texas” will be coming to Globe Life Field next year, scheduled for July 12th.
