CALLING ALL DAWGS,

Kickoff for Friday's Bulldawg football game against Shoemaker has been moved up to 6 p.m. and ALL Senior Night activities have been postponed to Nov. 6th due to the forecasted inclement weather for Friday night, to include the potential for lightning in the area.

All tickets for the Shoemaker game will be honored at the gate.

Thank you for your understanding.

Similar to how a bank limits the mortgage a homeowner can apply for based on their financial picture, state law limits how much a school district can borrow for capital projects to what a district can generate with an Interest & Sinking property tax rate of 50 cents. In Copperas Cove ISD, that amount is currently around $175 million.
