1. DISD will today consider a desperate makeover of Spruce High School, a last-ditch attempt to keep Texas Education Agency commissioner Robert Scott from completely shutting down the school. Whatever they decide to do, it doesn’t sound like there’s a magic bullet out there. Unless, of course, they hire Joe Clark.
2. Mayor Leppert will appear in public service announcements for Univision television and radio, encouraging more Latinos to register to vote. My idea for the TV spots–Leppert as a luche libre wrestler known as El Hombre con Manos Grandes–was unfortunately rejected. (Thanks, Dave.)
3. Still avoiding massive layoffs, American is dropping 42 flights from DFW Airport. You would think that would make a place like Waco kind of ticked since it’s losing two of its six daily flights. Nope. They’re getting jets! (Top story on wacotrib.com when I posted this: Chipotle gave away free burritos!)
