On Monday's show: Students at HISD go back to class today, with many students at other districts around Greater Houston beginning a new school year this week as well. We discuss the first day of school and other education developments with Houston Public Media’s Bianca Seward.

Also this hour: HISD made significant changes to how it will handle special education in the new school year. And they weren’t exactly popular moves. We take a closer look at how the changes might affect parents and students.

Then, we visit local gardener Erandi Treviño of Verandi Secret Garden to learn how to transition your yard to native plants to save water, reduce upkeep, and help local wildlife.

And Jonathan Alexander of the Houston Chronicle talks about the Texans’ offseason, personnel changes, training camp, and preparation for preseason play, which begins Aug. 13 against the Chargers.
