Both Temple and Belton ISD announced Monday afternoon that they will suspend online learning Tuesday and Wednesday due to the extreme winter weather and blackout conditions.
Both districts are taking the Texas Education Agency up on a waiver offered for those days. According to the TEA, and school district experiencing widespread power outages due to the weather is eligible to cancel classes without being required to schedule make-up days.
Both districts had planned for the first few days of the week to be virtual learning days, but obviously that will be an impossibility for many students whose homes are experiencing power outages.
