Eanes teachers, students enjoy a snowy break from class In-person school was closed to keep teachers and families off the road after yesterday’s snow storm. Virtual school was closed as well, not only because of concerns over power outages but also because of the state’s funding rules for virtual school, according to spokesperson Claudia McWhorter. The district could not shift instruction online because the Texas Education Agency will not fund days when all students are 100% remote, she said. Since the district made this decision, the agency has said it will fund remote learning days during inclement weather. McWhorter said there are more inclement weather this year, the district may consider having an all-remote day to avoid the need to make up days later.
