Today's riddle: What do you call cows dancing in the dark 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Rebel Scum Con IV: 9th, 10th and 11th July 2027 (fanthatracks.com) — Irving fans will host Rebel Scum Con IV at the Irving Convention Center July 9–11, 2027, bringing a larger Star Wars–themed gathering to town. Organizers promise more guests, cosplay, vendors, and programming details as the dates get closer, encouraging locals to mark their calendars now.
2. Irving ISD Earns Perfect Financial Rating for Second Straight Year, Lowers Tax Rate (irvingweekly.com) — Irving ISD has again earned a perfect 100 on the state's School FIRST financial accountability rating while also adopting a slightly lower property tax rate for 2026-27. Residents should note that, despite the rate drop, rising property values mean the district still expects more maintenance-and-operations tax revenue under the new $405 million budget.
3. Irving ISD AP Scores Climb Again as Students Earn 491 Scholar Awards (irvingweekly.com) — Irving ISD students are posting some of their strongest Advanced Placement results yet, with 44% of exams earning qualifying scores and 491 AP Scholar awards across the district. Irving High, MacArthur, Nimitz, Singley Academy, and even Travis Middle School all saw notable gains, helped by the district paying AP exam fees so families don't shoulder the cost.
4. Irving ISD Adult Education Program Helps Students Move Into New Careers (irvingweekly.com) — Irving adults looking for a fresh start can tap into Irving ISD's Adult Education and Literacy Program, which offers ESL, GED prep and hands-on workforce training in fields like trucking, cybersecurity and construction. Recent participants have already landed jobs with Irving ISD, local dealerships, construction firms and engineering companies, showing how the free classes can quickly translate into new careers.
