TEA granted waivers to all area districts for two days missed. Districts affected after the two days can work with TEA to try to keep from having to extend the year: TEA Waivers Article @ Houston Chronicle

I heard Katy and CyFair will be closed the rest of the week. I read that Cy Fair official haven't even been able to get to all of the schools to even check on them because of the high water. Horrible!

I know, my heart goes out to the people on the northwest side, as well as those in my area who flooded for the second time in 11 months.

I am glad about the waiver, though. Having an extra two days in May wasn't going to benefit anyone.

I agree. I think the kids have been through enough and shouldn't have to worry about making up school days.

I am not a huge fan of TEA but for today, they did the right thing.

That said, if it goes too much longer upper level classes may not be able to get through all their curricula as many of us plan to the last day.
