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.

🗳️Today, April 4th is the Voter Registration deadline to participate in the May 2024 Election. As a reminder, Copperas Cove ISD Bond 2024 Proposition A will be on the ballot. 🗳️ Register to vote TODAY at www.VoteTexas.Gov.
Bond 2024 Proposition A includes the expansion of the CCHS Cafeteria. Check out the proposed site plan and renderings below. For full-size renderings, please visit our Bond webpage at www.ccisd.com/Bond2024

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The bond proposal would allow for the replacement of outdated electrical panels, to include electrical switchgear, transformers and main distribution panels.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.

The deadline to register to vote in the May 2024 election is THIS THURSDAY, April 4th. As a reminder, Copperas Cove ISD Bond 2024 Proposition A will be on the ballot. Register to vote TODAY at www.VoteTexas.Gov.
The bond proposal also includes an 8,000-sq ft expansion of the CCHS Band Hall, including a second band hall, allowing for more rehearsal space.
The current band hall does not have space for instrument storage and some storage closets are used for practice due to the undersized band hall. The Band program cannot have a marching band class period due to size constraints of the band hall. Since the band hall is used for various groups, some class periods have to end early in order for the next group to practice. This space-sharing constraint impacts instruction and practice time.

Built in 1965, the Miss Jewell wing at Fairview/Jewell Elementary has not been remodeled or updated since the building was constructed.
The proposed work includes new classroom doors, updated life-skills classrooms, restrooms, flooring and updates to bring the campus into ADA compliance. The walkway between the Fairview and Miss Jewell wings would be enclosed to ensure student safety and limit exposure to inclement weather conditions when walking across campus.
