School Closings Along the Coast

I spoke to a friend of mine this morning in Houston to ask about Ike and how her family was getting along. The short answer is that they were spared the worst and had minimal damage in their neighborhood. Her son is a senior in the Houston ISD, and she said that he would hopefully be able to go back on Thursday. I checked the Chronicle's Web site and found this list of school closings. Ominously, here are a few details to note:

Goodrich ISD is closed until further notice

Hardin ISD is closed until further notice.

Pearland ISD is closed until further notice.

Hitchcock ISD is closed until further notice

La Marque ISD is closed Monday and until further notice.

Clear Creek ISD is closed all week and until further notice.
