A new statewide safety measure is in effect for Texas schools, requiring them to adjust outdoor athletic practices based on heat readings. This measure applies to schools in the Houston area, including those in Tomball. As preseason football workouts began, schools were required to take measurements and make adjustments accordingly.

The specific measurement used is the wet bulb globe temperature. Further details on this safety measure can be found through Houston Public Media, which reported on the new requirement as it took effect with the start of preseason football workouts.
