HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The winter storm threw a wrench into student learning plans for much of southeast Texas, and the problems are continuing to impact some students a full two weeks later.

Houston ISD, like so many others, canceled classes for students the week of the storm, continuing through Tuesday, Feb. 23. Students logged in for some virtual lessons on Wednesday, Feb. 24.
