As the freeze in the Houston area ends, most students are set to return to school after a day off, while some schools are still dealing with winter-related issues. KHOU released a list of schools reopening on Tuesday, including Houston ISD, Cy-Fair ISD, and UH Main. Classes will resume for most students and staff.

Not all school districts are returning to normal at the same pace after the winter storm. Goodrich ISD will start on Tuesday with a two-hour delay, adjusting bus routes and start times, while Tarkington ISD canceled school due to a major water leak, stating, "The safety and well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority," as per FOX 26 Houston

Efforts to restore facilities and ensure safety are ongoing, with Tarkington ISD preparing for students’ return. Meanwhile, Houston ISD and Galveston College are resuming normal operations as schools recover from the storm.
