I was here when that 2nd fire station was voted down in an election only to be built at a higher cost a few years later because insurance companies wouldn’t cover all the homes being built because of response time. I lived in that neighborhood when the station was near Austin and there were no problems.

I am sorry to hear that Ronaldi is against bond proposals for Coppell. Our community has always supported our schools and kept them in great condition and up to date. They are a source of pride for Coppell. I hope our citizens remember that when they vote.

I’m a senior citizen whose children attended CISD K-12 and received an excellent education. I would want that for all students who attend our schools even though mine are long gone. I’d like to know how Mr. Rinaldi voted on the bonds when his children attended Coppell schools. Also, our property values are reflected in how well our schools perform and look.

Something to think about!

I still feel a sense of pride and excitement when I hear about Coppell students and teams shining. I love to hear about students from our town soaring! Thank you for including that info in your chronicle. My 43 years here makes Coppell my home nest and I feel a sense of pride when our students, schools, and community earn accolades.

I love this town!

Go Cowgirls!

Sure feels like the state legislature is doing everything it can to undermine public schools.

I agree! It’s really sad to hear how some Texans are trying to phase out public education.

I have kids in Coppell schools. “Zero,” violent or criminal acts is a big claim surely clouded in semantics and other nonsense. Maybe the bullying and scraps between kids don’t rise to an occasion requiring a police report, but that doesn’t mean they don’t happen.

Appears that school admin is in CYA mode. Don't usually agree with Ms. Biswas approach and stance on issues; but, happy for the ask about the lack of complete and full reporting and accountability by the CISD.
