Round Rock ISD marked the opening of a new campus in January. 

What you need to know: RRISD celebrated its newest facility, the Early College High School, on Jan. 14.

About the project: Funded by a combination of 2018 and 2024 bonds, the campus will provide a central building for the district's Early College High School. Prior to its construction, students attended class in portables on the Austin Community College's Round Rock campus. Students attending the campus take both high school and college-level courses and can potentially graduate with an associate's degree.

A set of permanent regulations for thousands of Texas businesses selling consumable hemp products took effect Jan. 21, after the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission adopted them one day earlier.

The overview: The latest hemp rules do not bring significant changes to the roughly 60,000 businesses under TABC oversight. They replace similar emergency rules adopted Sept. 23, prohibiting Texas alcohol retailers from selling hemp-derived THC products to customers under 21 years old.

“The key you heard today… is the effect of THC on younger folks' development—much like alcohol, the same reasons we regulate alcohol for those 21 years old [and up],” TABC chair Robert Eckels said.

Zooming in: The TABC has limited jurisdiction over the consumable hemp industry and can only require age limits and ID checks, agency leaders said. State health officials are considering more comprehensive regulations on the industry.

“The Department of State Health Services’ rules are going to be much more robust,” TABC general counsel James Person said Jan. 20. “They actually cover the products themselves: the [THC] content, the testing and whatnot."
