Floodwater slicks the floor of Hilliard Elementary School in Houston last week, days after Hurricane Harvey swept through the city. (John Taggart for The Washington Post)Hurricane Harvey arrived in Texas just as the school year in Houston was supposed to start. While the Houston Independent School District will open for most schoolchildren Monday, other districts will remain shuttered for much longer. As education officials continue to gauge the toll the storm took on schoolchildren in Texas, another historic storm — Hurricane Irma — is predicted to make landfall in Florida. Class was canceled for at least 1.1 million students in Florida’s public colleges and universities.
