From The Newsroom: A Second Round For Michael Hinojosa; Fantasy Gifts From 'The Book'

The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: Michael Hinojosa is officially the superintendent of Dallas schools. Last night, the school board formally approved his contract.

And finally, we’ll dig into some of the fantasy gifts that are part of the 89^th Neiman Marcus’ Christmas Catalog.
