North Texas Schools Delay or Cancel Classes Due to Wintry Weather and Icy Conditions

Multiple school districts in North Texas are delaying or canceling classes amid ongoing winter weather and hazardous road conditions. Dallas-Fort Worth area temperatures are expected to dip below freezing overnight Tuesday, creating icy conditions on roads and sidewalks. Most districts and colleges have either canceled classes or moved to online learning for Monday and Tuesday, with some considering closures or delays for Wednesday. Notably, Leander ISD announced a school closure for Monday, Jan. 26, due to continued freezing temperatures and unsafe travel conditions, and will reassess for Tuesday. Other districts such as Anna ISD, Carrollton-Farmers Branch, Farmersville ISD, and Scurry-Rosser ISD have also announced closures or delays. Several districts, including Dallas ISD and DeSoto ISD, are monitoring weather conditions and will update families later today. The region experienced overcast skies and icy streets, with authorities urging residents to take precautions against cold weather, including protecting pipes, pets, and exposed skin. The situation remains fluid, with updates expected as weather forecasts evolve.
