On Friday’s show: We learn about some recent developments in education, including some concerns about the way the written portion of some STAAR tests will be graded in the future and news about declining student enrollment at HISD since the pandemic.

Also this hour: Three years after a deadly winter storm knocked out power across Texas, what has changed — and what hasn’t?

Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week, including Drake, 50 Cent, and several others musicians all being registered to vote at the same house in Katy.

And writer and former Houstonian Suzette Mullen discusses her new memoir, The Only Way Through Is Out, which explores her decision to come out later in life. She’s holding a book signing at Brazos Bookstore on Feb. 22.
