On Friday’s show: Houston public school principals have until noon Monday to confirm whether their schools will opt into Superintendent Mike Miles’ “new education system” program.

Also this hour: We discuss the disappearance of the Astroworld theme park and why so little of its kind has come along to replace it since.
