Extreme Cold Weather Forces School Schedule Adjustments in North Texas and Des Moines
North Texas school districts are adjusting schedules due to extreme cold weather, with some schools closing or delaying classes. The region is under an extreme cold warning until Thursday morning, prompting districts to take precautions for student safety. Most major school districts in the area remain open, but some have opted for delayed start times or closures. Families are encouraged to check local updates for specific school schedules.
In Des Moines, Iowa, extreme cold has also impacted school operations. Des Moines Public Schools announced a two-hour delay on Wednesday, with elementary schools starting at 9:40 a.m., middle schools at 10:30 a.m., and high schools at 10:15 a.m. Morning preschool programs were canceled. The district cited wind chills of 20 to 30 degrees below zero as the reason for the delay. Similar conditions are expected throughout the week, with wind chills remaining dangerously low.
