Summary
Conroe ISD and Willis ISD canceled Wednesday classes, district offices and after-school activities as Tropical Storm Edouard was forecast to move farther inland and directly affect parts of the Houston area.
National Weather Service and county emergency updates pointed to significant rainfall, flash flooding, power outages and hazardous roads, prompting districts to act before dark and morning commutes.
Shepherd ISD, Livingston ISD and Coldspring-Oakhurst CISD shifted to 2-hour delays, with campuses starting at 9:45 a.m. and bus routes running two hours late.
Conroe said its 348-square-mile district faces uneven storm impacts, with staff and bus drivers commuting from harder-hit areas, and plans to update families later on Sept. 3 operations.
