What North Texas schools and colleges are closed Friday because of the weather?

Some schools, colleges and universities are shutting down campuses or canceling activities as icy temperatures reach North Texas.

“Road conditions are hazardous and will continue to deteriorate in the freezing, icy weather,” the University of North Texas spokesperson Trista Moxley said in an email.

The National Weather Service on Monday issued a winter storm warning for Dallas County and other parts of North Texas — which means there’s potential for “significant impacts” to travel due to snow, sleet or ice accumulations.

The watch runs from Monday afternoon through Wednesday morning, with most significant impacts expected Tuesday.

Multiple districts have warned that, in anticipation of severe weather this afternoon, families may experience possible bus delays during dismissal.

Here’s what schools and college campuses are doing in preparation for the weather:
