Here's a list of the dates for the first day of class for schools across the Pineywoods.

It's virtually a tie between two Diboll schools to see which will win $1500.

Educators in Louisiana will have a new tool to keep their students and our kids safe

Which school will react first with precautionary measures? Will it be an early release today? A delayed start tomorrow? An all-out cancellation tomorrow?

A student could just refuse to turn in anything, and they've automatically got half of the credit.

School is getting ready to start up again, and students are getting excited about new friends, new teachers, new backpacks, and a brand new start. And there's this not-so-happy news that Texas ranks among the lowest in the US for SAT scores, so we gotta buckle down. There is one bright spot.

Another East Texas school has been evacuated due to a threatening note found on a bathroom wall.

As a parent, if you get a letter this year from your child's school saying a classmate has head lice, it's because a new Texas law requires the school to send it. But there is one instance that will remain undercover, and parents will never know.

To perform better in school, maybe kids need less time in the classroom. Some Texas schools are gaining attention for tripling the recess time for students, and we're waiting to see if this growing trend catches on in East Texas.

Modern schools deal with a mountain of challenges.  Teachers must handle disruptive students who have little or no respect for rules or consequences, parents who leave the parenting up to the schools, and in many cases administrators who simply don't support the teachers.  However, what occurs in this video is without question unacceptable.

A wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain has started across East Texas.  A Winter Storm Warning is in effect until 6pm on Friday, although most of the precipitation should fall between now and noon on Friday. The latest list of delays and closures follows the bump.

We just received this update from the Lufkin Police Department...check out the full release after the bump.
