Fort Bend ISD will be closed Aug. 26-27 due to Hurricane Laura. All district operations—including learning centers, meal distribution sites and special education programs—will be suspended.
According to communication from the district, the progress of the storm will be monitored, and a decision about Friday will be made at a later time.
Hurricane Laura is expected to intensify into a Category 3 storm before making landfall near the upper Texas and southwest Louisiana coast between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, according to a 10 a.m. Aug. 25 update from the National Weather Service.
The FBISD board of trustees will convene virtually at 6 p.m. Aug. 25 for an emergency meeting to take any action needed to effectively respond to Hurricane Laura.
The district is encouraging families to prepare for the storm and to monitor local forecasts.
