Raymond Community Park is now partially open following a Feb. 24 ribbon cutting ceremony in Prosper.

What you need to know: The park spans 70 acres and is located in the northwest corner of the Coit Road and First Street intersection. Currently open amenities include tennis and pickleball courts, a hike-and-bike trail and a playground. Baseball and multipurpose fields are expected to open this summer, Parks and Recreation Director Dan Baker said.

Zooming in: Mayor David Bristol called the park’s opening “the fulfillment of a dream that began over a decade ago” and highlighted the collaboration among town leaders, volunteers and community organizations.

The Texas Education Agency must correct roughly 4,200 errors in its elementary and middle school curriculum, the State Board of Education ruled Feb. 25.

The overview: The changes to the Bluebonnet Learning materials, a set of state-developed textbooks, include replacing improperly licensed images, fixing formatting errors or typos and correcting factual errors.

The SBOE approved the Bluebonnet materials in November 2024. The curriculum, which became available to districts ahead of the 2025-26 school year, has been criticized for frequent biblical references in the reading materials, although proponents said the materials would help improve student outcomes.

Zooming in: Before approving the changes, several board members expressed concerns about the “unprecedented” number of issues with the state-developed textbooks, noting that Texas taxpayers will cover the costs of reprinting the updated materials, as they were developed with state funds.

“I’m very concerned that, as a board, we have set a precedent for sloppy publishing. Many times, even if it's a typo, it could become an error of fact,” SBOE member Pam Little, R-Fairview, said.
