Houston ISD

Houston ISD will resume normal operations on Tuesday, January 27. In the past few days, the district facilities and maintenance teams have taken proactive steps to ensure our campuses are ready to welcome students and staff back on Tuesday.

Early tomorrow morning, beginning at 4:30 a.m., our facilities team will again conduct districtwide heating checks at every building. Because most of our HVAC systems can be monitored and adjusted remotely, we will be able to identify and address any issues as soon as they arise. In addition, all HISD buses are heated. The district's transportation team has winterized the bus fleet, checked the batteries, topped off fuel, and walked drivers through cold‑weather safety procedures.

These preparations reflect our commitment to maintaining safe, warm, and fully operational learning environments. We look forward to welcoming all students and staff back to school on Tuesday, January 27.
