The first class of Presidential Leadership Scholars will graduate at the George W. Bush Presidential Center tonight.

The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: Former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will join Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban for a special graduation ceremony tonight at the George W. Bush Presidential Center.

Fans of the Dallas Mavericks are angry over DeAndre Jordan backing out of his verbal agreement with the team. The free agent agreed to a four-year, $87 million deal, only to announce last night he was signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.

And our Big Screen team learns more about Dirk Nowitzki in a new documentary about the NBA star.

You can listen to North Texas stories at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
