Overview
- Most districts resumed classes Friday, including Dallas ISD, Frisco ISD and Rockwall ISD, following weather-related closures earlier in the week.
- Several northern and northeastern districts remained closed Friday, including Celina, Denison, Denton, Farmersville, Gainesville, Krum, Little Elm, Northwest, Ponder and Sherman ISDs.
- Early Friday travel still posed some concern with below-freezing temperatures and slick neighborhood spots, although major roadways were largely thawed.
- Mansfield ISD canceled Thursday classes after a pre-dawn assessment found dangerous black ice, particularly at bus barns, reversing a plan announced the night before to open.
- Districts emphasized safety and continued overnight site and road checks to inform day-by-day decisions, with Mansfield outlining reevaluations beginning around 1:30 a.m.
