Story by Caroline Purtle, online editor in chief

TISD reevaluated this morning’s forecast and came to the decision that tomorrow morning will continue to receive inclement weather and remain hazardous. The high school will now begin school at 10:30 a.m. for all bus and car riders.

“Given the expected worsening road conditions this evening and possibly tomorrow morning, Texarkana ISD will delay the start of school for all elementary, middle school and options high school campuses to 10 a.m.,” Executive Director of Public Relations for TISD Tina Veal-Gooch said. “Texas High School students will report to their campus at 10:30 a.m.”

After school activities and meetings have been cancelled for tonight. The National Weather Service implemented a Winter Storm Warning 4 hours ago. Texarkana College will have a delayed start tomorrow at 10 a.m. as well.

“School buses will be on a 2-hour delay,” Veal-Gooch said. “Therefore, students who are picked up from their bus stop at 6:30 a.m. will not be picked-up until 8:30 a.m.”
