From The Newsroom: Michael Hinojosa's Wait Is Over; High School Hoop Dreams

Dallas ISD

The top local stories this morning from the ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôºroom: The state-mandated 21-day waiting period for incoming Dallas Superintendent Michael Hinojosa has ended. The Dallas school board is expected to vote on Hinojosa’s contract later this evening.

Also, we’ll check in with a member of the Class of ’17 who has a tall dream: to get on his school’s varsity basketball team.

Finally, Caitlyn Jenner’s very public transition from male to female put a specific surgery in the spotlight, known as facial feminization. ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôºâ€™s Lauren Silverman explains that the procedure, at times, can be just as much art as it is science. 

You can listen to North Texas stories weekdays at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº 90.1 FM.
