The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: Courtney Collins sits down with Michelle Kinder, executive director of The Momentous Institute, to talk about how financial insecurity can impact young minds. Also, we’ll look at a Fort Worth school where most students are newcomers to the country.
