This week On The Record, host Randy Beamer talks with Melody Woosley, Director of Human Services with the city, about how federal COVID relief dollars will be spent here to help immigrants passing through San Antonio.
Next, you can plan on a lot of controversy next week when the State Board of Education takes on the school curriculum for social studies. They make changes once a decade, and the time is here. SBOE member Marisa Perez joins us from Austin to talk about that process.
Then, the Institute of Texan Cultures has been a downtown icon for decades, but now UTSA wants to take action to do something with the aging building. Kimberly Andrews Espy, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs along with Sabrina Casas-Avila, ITC Steering Committee co-chair, tell us about the online survey for the public that will guide the decision making process.
Finally, the tragedy in Uvalde brought media from around the world to the small Texas town. But as the days went by, and the focus of the story became Uvalde police, and that put the media at odds with local law enforcement. Express News reporter Emilie Eaton shares with Randy how media covering the tragedy are dealing with ongoing harassment and threats from police.
