Houston-area school districts delayed, closed on Tuesday, January 27, 2026 after winter storm: List

HOUSTON - Some Houston-area school districts have announced they are delaying or canceling class for Tuesday, January 27, 2026. 

Here's the latest list:

Goodrich ISD

Goodrich ISD will operate on a two-hour delayed start on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.

All campuses will begin classes two hours later than the normal start time. Bus routes will also run two hours later than their regular schedules.

Liberty ISD

Liberty ISD will be closed on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.

The following is a note sent by the district, "Because of the dangerous freezing temperatures expected through Tuesday morning, Liberty ISD will be closed on Tuesday, January 27th. Could we maybe make school work? Possibly. But my job as Superintendent is to work with our School Board and community to look out for our kids, staff, and families. We have staff who commute from all over the region and kids on buses for close to an hour in some cases. Asking everyone to be out in these conditions for one more day of school just isn’t worth the risk.I know this means families have to make arrangements, and my hope is that this advanced notice will give you all time to do that. I truly appreciate your flexibility and understanding. Let’s all take care of each other and hope all of Panther Nation stays warm and safe."

Livingston ISD

Livingston ISD will be closed on Tuesday, January 27, due to HVAC issues at multiple campuses.

Tarkington ISD

Tarkington ISD schools will be closed on Tuesday, January 27. No classes or after school activities will be held.

This decision was made due to a burst pipe causing a major water leak, which has disrupted water service to several district facilities. Our team has shut off the water in those areas as well as called in reinforcements and is actively assessing the situation while working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

The safety and well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority. We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we make sure every building is prepared to receive students and staff. Thank you to our families as we work through this unexpected situation.

We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available through our usual communication channels. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
