Coppell ISD Bond Presentation 

Dr. Waldrip (CISD Superintendent)

We will be having an evening meeting on April 7th at 6:00pm in which Dr. Waldrip our superintendent of CISD will be speaking about the upcoming bond election.  This is a great opportunity for you to become more knowledgeable about the bond process and the items that are being proposed as a part of the bond.  The meeting will also give you as parents a chance to ask questions that you may have about various parts of the bond.  We truly appreciate Dr. Waldrip making time to come to our campus, so please try to attend the meeting if you can so that you can made more aware how the bond could affect our campus and CISD.
