After a devastating week of winter weather for the Lone Star State, Copperas Cove ISD Maintenance and Custodial Department employees are busy repairing the damage as academic instruction continues on schedule.
âOur first priority was to ensure students were back in the classroom in a safe environment with water, hot meals and everything needed to be able to learn,â said district Superintendent Joe Burns.
Maintenance workers began prepping the schools in anticipation of the winter storm. They continued daily, including weekends, throughout the icy conditions to minimize damage to facilities. But, the freezing temperatures, that are rare in Texas, still resulted in damage to six of 11 CCISD schools.
