Despite these conditions, we anticipate normal operations with summer school as scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, June 17.
Our monitoring will continue through tonight and into Thursday. Early tomorrow morning, the HISD Transportation Department will conduct an evaluation of local road conditions. If any changes to our schedule become necessary, we will notify families no later than 5:30 AM, or as soon as a decision is reached.
For the latest updates regarding plans for our school community, please stay tuned to the Huntsville ISD website and our social media channels. We encourage all families, particularly those in low-lying areas, to take all the necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
