Mexia ISD administration has assessed road conditions this afternoon, while main roads throughout the city are thawing and look good, rural road conditions across the district are still hazardous, Mexia ISD campuses will remain closed on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. Temperatures are expected to drop rapidly later this afternoon, causing slush to refreeze and create hazardous driving conditions on the rural roads that many travel. In addition, the Limestone County Office of Emergency Management is forecasting freezing fog in the morning.
We would like to extend a special thank you to all those braving the freezing temperatures each day to monitor our campuses and road conditions for everyone’s safety. Your dedication and work ethic are truly appreciated and do not go unnoticed.
Wednesday’s scheduled school board meeting, basketball, and soccer games will proceed as planned.
Thank you for your patience, flexibility, and continued support as we keep the safety of our students and staff our top priority.

Due to the continued icy road conditions and freezing temperatures, and in the best interest of safety for all students and staff, Mexia ISD offices and campuses will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, 2026. This school closure period includes all extra curricular activities and practices. The Tuesday night Board meeting will be rescheduled for Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at 6PM.
Soccer and basketball games will also move to Wednesday, January 28, 2026.

Cheer Tryouts are coming soon!

Good Afternoon MISD Stakeholders,
Mexia ISD is requesting your assistance with an important matter.
We have recently experienced several incidents involving spectator behavior at our student events. As a result of the incidents an official complaint has been filed with the University Interscholastic League (UIL) regarding these concerns. The UIL has been actively addressing issues related to ejections and confrontations involving spectators, players, school personnel, and officials of late.
As part of their efforts, the UIL has introduced a platform called The Texas Way, which emphasizes the importance of positive sportsmanship. I strongly encourage all of us to review this resource, as it provides valuable guidance on appropriate behavior at athletic events.

Please keep Chromebooks out of freezing weather!
