Waco Temple Bryan, TX, November 12, 2026 — Killeen Independent School District (ISD) has announced the closure of all its schools and district facilities. The closure is scheduled for Thursday, December 3, 2026.

As of the announcement, the scope of the closure encompasses all Killeen ISD schools, from elementary to high school levels, as well as administrative buildings and any other district-owned facilities.
