They were forced to temporarily close.<ref>"[http://www.ktxs.com/news/texas-school-district-closed-amid-water-dispute/23919638 Texas school district closed amid water dispute] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140408224300/http://www.ktxs.com/news/texas-school-district-closed-amid-water-dispute/23919638 |date=2014-04-08 }}" ([https://web.archive.org/web/20140408224300/http://www.ktxs.com/news/texas-school-district-closed-amid-water-dispute/23919638 Archive]).
