As the San Antonio area braces for an expected hard freeze, several schools and universities have announced closures and delays for January 22, 2025. The frigid temperatures, which may dip into the twenties overnight, have prompted school districts to adjust their schedules for the safety of students and staff. The San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD), Northside Independent School District (NISD), and Northeast Independent School District (NEISD) all confirmed closures, with NEISD stating they would not hold classes, citing safety concerns due to icy conditions on the roads. Meanwhile, Texas State University and the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) reported delays in campus operations, opening their facilities later in the morning to allow time for conditions to improve. The National Weather Service has issued a hard freeze warning for Bexar County and surrounding areas, advising residents to take precautions to protect plants and pipes as temperatures are expected to plunge overnight. The community response includes residents preparing for the cold, checking on vulnerable individuals, and making sure pets are kept warm. City officials have urged everyone to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary, as many secondary roads may be untreated and hazardous. As the situation unfolds, updates will continue to be provided through local media outlets and school district communications.
