Friday evening, HISD reported that:

• 122 HISD campuses are still without power. There is currently no estimate of when power will be restored.

• Minor damage to trees and buildings is being repaired on all campuses.

• Superintendent Miles visited Robinson, Paige, Sinclair and Pugh elementary schools today. Despite the current power outages and building damage, all four schools should be able to serve their students once power is restored.

• The main obstacle to the reopening of schools is the numerous power outages. HISD is working with CenterPoint Energy and local officials to ensure safe school operations by Monday.

Although the goal remains for all students to return to school on Monday, power must first be restored. In the meantime, proms and other school events scheduled for this weekend will be held at the discretion of individual school principals.

Additionally, families in need of food can visit the Sam Houston MSTC and Austin High School distribution sites today, starting at 9 a.m.
