Fort Worth, Arlington ISDs see storm damage. Here’s how other North Texas schools fared
After last week’s winter storm, some north Texas school districts closed Monday and Tuesday to continue repairs while others had minimal damages that allowed for quick fixes. Here are the districts still closed and those that opened Monday.

Fort Worth schools will resume online and in-person classes Wednesday with the exception of three campuses that will not open because of damage. Fort Worth schools are closed through Tuesday as officials assess damage and make repairs.
The three campuses that will not open for in-person classes are:
