Forecasts show that rain will become more widespread across southeast Texas Tuesday and then move northwest in the afternoon or evening. As a result, some school districts, such as those in Montgomery County, canceled classes Wednesday.
Both Willis and Conroe ISD announced school closures on Tuesday afternoon.
“Conroe ISD spans 348 square miles, and while some areas may see relatively minor impacts, others may experience heavy rainfall, flooding, power outages, or hazardous road conditions,” district officials said on social media. We must also consider that many of our bus drivers, teachers, and employees commute from areas that may be more heavily affected.
On the other hand, officials in some districts north of Houston, such as Magnolia ISD, said they plan stay open and will keep monitoring the weather. At Royal ISD, classes will continue as normal but all after-school activities will be canceled.
Houston-area school districts with delayed starts or no after-school activities Wednesday
