The Dreaded DISD Troubled Schools List
42 Dallas ISD schools make TEA list of state's worst schools. The list is made up of schools where student test scores were too low or school ratings were "unacceptable" which allow students to transfer to another school campus under the state's Public Education Grant Program. More than 11% of the subpar schools from the list were from Dallas.

Dallas Fed expects 2.5% increase in employment adding 250,000 jobs in Texas
2011 hopes for the Dallas-Fort Worth housing market rest on jobs. Not only are the quantity of jobs important, but the quality of the jobs are of heavy importance. Permanent high quality jobs with a substantial income will mean more money to go into the local economy and housing market. If employers only higher low wage, temporary workers then the importance of those added jobs is minimal and the economy will continue to be sluggish.
With intereste rates starting to rise it is expected that those who have been holding out to buy due to decreasing interest rates will begin purchasing those homes. We may have bottomed out and 2011 is beginning to look like the year we start to recover and move forward in the right direction.
