Copperas Cove Junior High School

TOMORROW is CCISD's Transition Fair, explaining the various vocational assistance services and partnerships. It is 6-7:30 p.m. in the Copperas Cove HS cafeteria.

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 The bond proposal would allow for the replacement of outdated electrical panels, to include electrical switchgear, transformers and main distribution panels.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

CCISD is hosting a Transition Fair help any questions regarding vocational assistance program in the district and its community partnerships this Thursday at the CCHS Cafeteria. We hope to see you there!

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.

Bond 2024 could allow for safety and security improvements such as upgrades to access control systems, surveillance cameras, steel doors, and central lockdown capabilities to make schools more secure. The walkway between each wing at Williams/Ledger and Clements/Parsons Elementary School and the Shared cafeteria/gym space will be enclosed to ensure safety when students are walking across campus.

The average age of the district’s campuses is more than 51 years old. Copperas Cove ISD maintains 20 facilities spanning nearly 2 million square feet, every school day. As facilities age, they have increased mechanical, electrical and plumbing issues. These systems often have obsolete parts, require more frequent repairs and cost more to maintain, requiring a greater investment in maintenance and operational costs. More than 95% of the dollar value of the 2024 bond proposal is dedicated to addressing aging facilities and infrastructure.
