After communicating with the County Judge, City Officials and AEP, Marfa ISD has made the decision to close school tomorrow February 16th. Due to the lack of electricity and Internet access it will not be possible to have remote instruction. The school cafeteria will remain open tonight as a warming center. Outlets are available for those needing to charge medical devices. Temperatures are expected to be below freezing through the night. Please take precautions to stay warm and stay safe.
