Bulldawg family, mark your calendars for our annual Pre-K Round-up on May 6th!
Did you know... Copperas Cove ISD residents age 65 and older will not be impacted financially by the proposed bond if they have filed the proper Homestead Exemption with the County Central Appraisal District. Their taxes are frozen and cannot go over their frozen amount if there are no major improvements to the propoerty. NOTE: In 2019, Texas Legislators passed a new law as part of HB 3 that requires all bond propositions for any school district to have the phrase "THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE’’ on all ballot language for bond propositions. Due to this requirement, all voters will see this statement on the official ballot language.

Did you know that Copperas Cove HS lost 2 days of instruction due to a blown fuse from a lightning strike in May 2022? Replacement with a used fuse was $48,000, as that fuse was no longer manufactured. Upgrading the electrical system with bond proceeds will prevent another occurrence. The existing main electrical switchgear is original to the building and service to the high school is at capacity. A facility assessment was done by the Texas Association of School Board’s Facility Services team, which recommended upsizing this main switchgear for current load balance and any future power requirements.
The bond proposal would allow for the replacement of outdated electrical panels, to include electrical switchgear, transformers and main distribution panels. The wiring that serves these existing panels and transformers will require replacement, as well, due to age and condition of the wiring and protective insulation.
