Texas School Districts Delay Classes Due to Snowstorm

AMARILLO, Texas (KVII) — Local school districts are postponing the start of classes on Thursday due to a snowstorm forecasted to hit the region.

In response to the predicted severe weather, several districts have taken precautionary measures to ensure the safety of students and staff. The announcements come just days ahead of the storm expected to bring significant snowfall.

ABC 7 News is collecting and updating information about school closures and delays across the area. Parents and guardians are encouraged to check in with their respective districts for the latest updates.

“We want everyone to stay safe, which is why we’ve decided to delay the start of classes,” said a representative from one of the affected districts. The specific reasons include hazardous driving conditions and the potential for heavy snow accumulation.

As other regions prepare for similar weather conditions, schools in Massachusetts and New Hampshire have already announced their closures and early dismissals. Kentucky schools in the Tri-State area are also adapting, moving to remote learning or closing entirely.

The situation is evolving, and updates will continue to be provided as the districts finalize their plans in response to the winter storm.
