Two major North Texas school districts, Dallas and Fort Worth ISD, have announced that all schools in their distrcits will be closed Wednesday due to the ongoing dangerous cold and icy conditions.
“While conditions have improved in some areas, many neighborhood and side roads remain icy and not passable, creating unsafe travel conditions for buses, student drivers, staff, and families. The decision prioritizes the safety of students and staff,” Fort Worth ISD said in a statement.
Mansfield, Lewisville, Little Elm and Denton ISDs are among the other major North Texas school districts that have announced closures for Wednesday.
North Texas school district officials say they are continuing to monitor weather conditions as dangerous cold, freezing fog and icy roadways remain a concern, and will provide updates as needed. WFAA’s Weather Alert Days have now been extended through Wednesday morning as well.
