The majority of North Texas school districts kept to standard operating schedules during Wednesday classes despite unfavourable weather conditions.
Schools across North Texas plan to push their first class sessions forward in the morning due to harsh weather conditions that bring freezing wind chills below zero levels.
The winter conditions have forced multiple outside gatherings to either be rescheduled or relocated.
