The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: The focus on expanding pre-Kindergarten programs has had one unexpected consequence – local childcare providers are losing business. Also, UT Dallas researchers have developed a material they hope could replace Kevlar.

Finally, our Big Screen team talks to a Dallas teacher who shepherded 11 student teams in this year’s 24-Hour Video Race.

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