"Houston ISD Schools Grapple with Heating and Water Issues, Prompting Early Dismissals and Delays"
Three Houston Independent School District schools had early dismissal due to heating and water issues caused by the cold weather, with Henry Middle School experiencing heater and electrical problems, Port Houston Elementary and Love Elementary also facing heater issues, and Felix Cook Elementary dealing with a water leak. HISD Superintendent Mike Miles acknowledged the district's aging infrastructure as a contributing factor and praised staff for their response. Despite the challenges, the majority of schools were unaffected, and students were able to take their district exams.
