It took me a few years to get used to it, but HS football is the engine for the othe extracurricular activities such as band and drill team. Our community rallies around our HS in Coppell, and my three kids enjoyed a challenging HS experience. My two sons play trumpet in a 350 strong marching band, while my daughter was on a national championship drill team.
There's one thing in common that these North Texas districts share: half, if not more, of local property tax dollars go elsewhere in the state, thanks to Robin Hood. Accordingly, I won't complain about their votes in a bond election. Not after seeing the new basketball facility at Coppell HS. All I can say is WOW!
Our school has a full complement of teams for boys and girls, plus volleyball teams. Those facilities are used year round.
How much will your property taxes increase to pay for the stadium?
Do you typically vote for tax increases?
Do you expect the price of that stadium to increase again, maybe this time from $70,000,000 it perhaps $90,000,000 or a $100,000,000?
