When severe weather hits the Concho Valley, staying informed about school schedules is a top priority for families in San Angelo and the surrounding areas.

Current School Closings and Delays Status

How to Get the Latest KLST Updates

KLST provides several ways to check for changes to your school’s schedule:

Online Closing Dashboard: The most reliable source is the ConchoValleyHomepage Closings Page, which is updated instantly as school officials make decisions.
KLST/KSAN Mobile App: You can download the Concho Valley Homepage app on iOS or Android. Enable push notifications for “Severe Weather” to get alerts the moment a delay is announced.
On-Air Broadcasts: During weather events, watch for the “crawling” ticker at the bottom of your screen on KLST-TV. Updates typically begin as early as 4:00 AM during morning news.

How Schools Make the Decision

Decisions regarding delays or cancellations are usually finalized by 6:00 AM. School officials, such as the San Angelo ISD Superintendent, consider several factors before calling for a change:

Road Conditions: SAISD crews begin driving local roads at 4:00 AM to check for ice, particularly on bridges and overpasses.
Agency Coordination: Reports from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and TxDOT are heavily weighed.
Building Safety: Ensuring that campuses have power and working heat for arriving students.

Common Notification Types

Status	Instruction
2-Hour Delay	School starts 2 hours later than normal. Buses will also run exactly 2 hours behind schedule.
Closed / Canceled	All classes and after-school activities are canceled for the day.
Early Release	Classes dismiss earlier than usual to allow students to get home before weather worsens.

Note: Decisions are rarely based on temperature alone; the primary concern is almost always icy road conditions that make bus travel dangerous.
