HISD storm damage: 90 Houston schools without power, Sunday decision to determine reopening

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — After 46 campuses returned to power, Houston Independent School District officials announced that classes would most likely resume on Monday.

HISD Superintendent Mike Miles said the final decision will be made Sunday afternoon based on how many schools have power.

As of Saturday morning, 90 schools were without power, compared to 136 on Friday.

Officials say four schools suffered significant damage: Sinclair Elementary, Pugh Elementary, Robinson Elementary and Paige Elementary.

In Sinclair, about 100 students will have to move to another school after portable classrooms were damaged.

The district said it lost a lot of food and milk in the storm, but students will still receive breakfast and lunch.

While STAAR testing is complete, NWEA testing is scheduled for the following week.

Miles said he doesn’t know if students will have to make up the missed days. He doubts it because the end of the year is very close, but he mentioned that if the power doesn’t come back, students might have to make up a few days.
