📰 News we're reading
• Bridgeport ISD outlines plans for new special education department (wcmessenger.com) — Bridgeport ISD is preparing its own special education department to serve 411 students after leaving Wise County Shared Services in July 2027. The proposed staffing includes 15 teachers and 17 paraprofessionals, with additional specialists. Superintendent Amy Ellis estimates the change would save $78,280 in local funds compared with staying in the cooperative. 
• Verra Approves First CCS Carbon Credits From Texas Project for Barnett Zero (carboncredits.com) — Bridgeport’s Barnett Zero project has earned the first carbon credits approved under Verra’s carbon capture and storage methodology. The BKV facility stores carbon dioxide separated during natural gas processing underground. The approval lets BKV monetize those credits, though the specific natural gas processing module still awaits separate approval from a carbon-market integrity council.
• Football Recap: Bowie's Seniors Lead the Way (maxpreps.com) — Bowie’s seniors powered a 42-17 win over Boyd, giving the Jackrabbits their first district victory and a 5-5 overall record. Tyler Richey rushed for 187 yards and four touchdowns, while Lane Whitfield added 210 total yards and two scores. Bowie next faces Wall at 6 p.m. Friday.
