AUSTIN (KXAN) — School districts in Central Texas are modifying their schedules for Monday, Jan. 11 after winter weather on Sunday is expected to bring inclement conditions overnight.

The Texas Education Agency clarified to KXAN any district that closes for a snow day but doesn’t provide a remote option for students will have to make up that instructional time at a later date. Schools like Austin ISD, which went 100% remote, will not need to make up a day of school.
