North Texas School Districts Respond to Freezing Weather Conditions
Several North Texas school districts, including Dallas ISD and Fort Worth ISD, have announced their plans regarding school operations amid freezing temperatures and icy conditions. Dallas ISD and Fort Worth ISD confirmed that schools will operate on a regular schedule on Wednesday, with buses running as usual. Both districts advised parents to ensure children dress in warm layers due to the extreme cold, with wind chills expected to drop near zero degrees.
Fort Worth ISD stated that after consulting with the National Weather Service, they decided to proceed with regular hours for schools and offices. Similarly, Dallas ISD encouraged students to bundle up and announced that all schools would remain open. The district also canceled all outdoor athletics through Thursday due to the freezing temperatures.
Other districts, such as Frisco ISD, also announced normal operations for Wednesday but emphasized the need to monitor weather conditions. Meanwhile, some rural districts have opted for delays or closures. For instance, several districts have canceled outdoor events, delayed start times, or rescheduled athletic activities to ensure safety.
The Arctic blast has brought dangerously cold temperatures to the region, with lows expected in the teens and wind chills below zero. School officials are urging families to prepare for the cold and stay updated on any changes to schedules. For a full list of school closures and delays, residents are encouraged to check local news outlets or district websites.
