Key Updates: Education Department, Fatal Crash Investigation, Fill the Boot

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm Michelle Hofmann, your host on KRIS 6 Sunrise. Today, I want to take a moment to wish my wonderful husband and co-anchor, Bryan Hofmann, a very Happy Birthday! Though he is at home awaiting surgery, I want him to know how much he is loved and valued. Now, let's dive into today's top stories: President Trump has signed an executive order to downsize the Department of Education, with a focus on maintaining essential functions such as student loans. Meanwhile, Corpus Christi Police are investigating a tragic accident that resulted in the passing of Sonjia Lewis. Anyone with information is urged to contact the CCPD Traffic Division. Also, the Downtown Management District is discussing a project to convert a one-way street to two-way, aiming to boost local businesses. The Corpus Christi Fire Department is still collecting donations for the Muscular Dystrophy Association through their "Fill the Boot" campaign, so please show your support if you can. Additionally, the Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a Summer Job Fair for those seeking positions. Don't miss the opportunity to see the famous Bigfoot monster truck today at La Palmera Mall before the upcoming Hot Wheels Live Glow N' Fire show at the American Bank Center this weekend. Wishing you all a fantastic weekend ahead! 😁
