On Thursday’s Houston Matters: Tonight, HISD's board of trustees will consider — and possibly vote on — some proposals aimed at helping out struggling schools. We learn more. And there's a music genre gaining notoriety in Houston, but it's doing so without the help of commercial pop radio. News 88.7's Eddie Robinson explains.

Also this hour: A new investigative report from the Austin American-Statesman says nearly 90 children died in Texas day cares over the past decade and more than 450 were sexually abused. We learn more from reporter Andrea Ball.
