The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: The federal government is cracking down on Texas educators for not having a statewide system for evaluating principals and teachers. 

Former Texas governor Rick Perry spoke out today about the latest ruling in the criminal case against him. 

Also, the softball team at North Central Texas College will return to the field for the first time since a bus accident last September killed four teammates. Finally, how self-promotion can cut into an artist's primary job. 

You can listen to the segment weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
