Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 5th of September.
Good morning, Edinburg.
🎓 Education
Texas lawmakers sent House Bill 8 to Gov. Abbott’s desk to replace the STAAR test with three shorter exams that students will start taking in the 2027-28 school year, and the bill eliminates the graduation requirement for English II while speeding up test score returns.
The changes aim to lower student stress and free up classroom time — a shift designed to better track academic progress.
🏥 Health
County officials opened the valley’s first OnMed CareStation at the McAllen clinic on Sept.
3—using telehealth to let residents check vital signs and speak with a doctor in real time. The station offers no-cost primary care for residents age 2 and up and is a joint effort with Molina Healthcare.
