Ector County ISD and Midland ISD were also closed Tuesday.
Ector County offices announced Monday afternoon that all offices would be closed on Tuesday due to weather.
“After discussion with Sheriff Mike Griffis, my commissioner colleagues, and with advice from our local weather experts, my decision for closing county operations is based on keeping our employees and our community safe. Having a background in road safety policies, I could not in good conscience ask our employees to endanger their lives, or that of their families, on icy roadways. We look forward to continuing to serve our constituents when county operations resume,” Ector County Judge Dustin Fawcett stated in Monday’s press release.
Fawcett also stated he plans to continue to monitor the situation on the roadways throughout the coming hours and days and will continue to advise the public on county operations.
