Some Central Texas schools are delaying the start of class Thursday as icy weather takes hold in some parts of the Austin area.

District leaders say they typically decide by 8 p.m. the night before if they expect classes to be impacted the next day. In rare cases, they could wait until 5 a.m. the day of. The district says they will notify the community of any changes to the school day or activities through social media, phone, email, and text.

With winter weather forecasted for Jan. 9 and 10, some Central Texas school districts have announced closures or delays.
