Sources: Missouri has re-signed quarterback Austin Simmons for the 2027 season, which would bring back a player who projects as one of the faces of the sport. By signing now, Simmons’ return allows the staff at Missouri to retain and recruit a top roster.

Gina Hinojosa has pledged to return HISD to local control, but she cannot act until she takes office. State law and a GOP Senate could slow the process. houstonchronicle.com/news/ho…

Tuesday's election is likely to greatly impact Texas public education and everything from school funding to vouchers, curricula, campus policing, the Ten Commandments, DEI bans and TEA school takeovers. Everything could be up for discussion in the 2027 session in Austin.

This also has huge implications for @UTAustin at a moment its conservative leadership is driving changes to core classes, majors & deans.
@utsystem regents are appointed by the governor and three are up for reappointment next year. That includes Chairman Kevin Eltife. #txed
Gov. @GregAbbott_TX conceded to @GinaHinojosaTX, a former @AustinISD school board member. Hinojosa has said her Day 1 priority is replacing @TEAinfo commissioner Mike Morath. #txed #austinschools statesman.com/news/politics/…

Vibes at Ken Paxton's watch party so far can only be described as "low energy." Supporters saying that there is still plenty of time left, but acknowledging that early returns are VERY bleak.

NO PAYWALL: Read our story about the publicly traded company that's received more than $1 billion from Texas taxpayers to operate online public schools.
When we dug into how those students are doing, this is what we found w/ @j_lovinger:

New Mexico beating NDSU is better than UTSA's best win. New Mexico was more competitive in its lone P4 game, albeit an easier matchup. UNM has three FBS blowouts to UTSA's one. UNM is 32nd in SP+ and 38th in adjusted EPA/play while UTSA is 59th in both. Pretty clear cut IMO.

This was just an unreal ball by Austin Simmons. 🤯

Breaking: Missouri All-American tailback Ahmad Hardy is set to make his season debut for the Tigers this weekend at Arkansas, sources told @PeteThamel.
Hardy is not going to start, but he’s expected to get a handful of carries for Missouri. He's been ruled out since May after being struck by a bullet.

Mini life update!🍎
I am starting a new ed beat @HoustonChron, focusing on the growing alternative education movement, (including Texas school vouchers). I've covered a lot of themes on this beat over the past year, and I'm excited to make it official!
