Passing the ADA (March 25, 2025)

On Tuesday’s show: We learn how potential cuts to FEMA funding might affect Houston’s ability to respond to and recover from natural disasters.

Also this hour: Longtime Houston activist Lex Frieden reflects on what it took to get the Americans with Disabilities Act passed and signed into law in 1990. That story is the subject of an episode of American Experience called Change, Not Charity: The Americans with Disabilities Act, which airs tonight at 8 on Houston Public Media, TV 8.

And we learn about the new teacher evaluation system HISD will have next school year. Some like it, and some hate it (just like just about everything these days).
