Dallas ISD Extends School Closures Through Tuesday Due to Winter Storm

School Closure Extension

• 🏫 Dallas ISD has decided to close schools on both Monday and Tuesday, with plans to reopen on Wednesday.

Building Maintenance and Preparedness

• 🛠️ DISD maintenance crews are conducting daily checks of each campus for any issues.
• 💧 This year, buildings are weathering the storm much better than in 2021, when numerous pipes were broken.
• ⏰ Crews will work late on Tuesday and come in early on Wednesday to ensure readiness for students.

City Services and Shelters

• 🏛️ The city of Dallas announced that City Hall and recreation centers will also be closed on Monday.
• 🏠 The Fair Park Emergency Shelter remains open and currently houses over 1,000 people.

Student Reactions

• 🧑‍🎓 Students like Truman Rose are enjoying the extended break from school.
• 📚 Truman humorously notes that he's practicing the math and physics he's interested in, implying a preference for hands-on learning over traditional schooling during the closure.
