DALLAS – Students in Fort Worth and a handful of other North Texas school districts are heading back to class for the first time since the winter storm. But the majority of students have one more day off.
Is there school today?
Dallas, Keller, Frisco, Garland, Lewisville, Plano, Richardson, and Northwest ISDs are still keeping kids home for winter weather.
Mansfield and Terrell ISD also announced early Thursday morning that they would remain closed after initially announcing they would reopen.
Mansfield ISD said it was unable to get its buses safely out of the transportation facility. Terrell said many of the roads and overpasses in its outlying areas are still covered in ice, making it impossible to provide a safe bus service.
Fort Worth, Arlington, Carroll, and Mesquite ISDs are preparing to open up.
