Huntsville ISD closed on Friday due to flooding concerns
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – Huntsville ISD will be closed Friday due to continued rain and flooding concerns.
The school district released the following letter:
After careful consideration and consultation with local emergency management officials, Huntsville ISD will continue closure through Friday, May 3. Dangerous road conditions are expected to continue into tomorrow, with more rain likely overnight and many roads outside of town still flooded as of 5:30 PM today. Additionally, our creeks, tributaries and rivers are still rising within our boundaries.
While we like to wait as long as possible to make this decision so it can be based on real-time information, we also realize the more notice we give families and staff, the better it is for their planning. We fully expect to be back to normal operations by Monday, and any changes or updates will be sent through our mass notification system, posted on the district website (www.huntsville-isd.org) and our official social media pages, and will be communicated to media outlets.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have suffered loss or damage during this weather event. Please stay safe.
