Lindsey, who works for Anderson Perry & Associates Inc., is completing his fifth year on the school board. He said he decided to seek reelection because he wants to help the school district keep moving in the right direction.

March 8, 1941 - October 23, 2020
Jim Thompson, of Cove, passed away October 23, 2020, at his home with his family near his favorite elk-viewing spot. Jim was 79. A family graveside service was held at the Cove Cemetery on October 30, 2020.
James Elbert (Jim) Thompson was the youngest of three children born to John Elbert Thompson and Mary Dickerson Thompson on March 8, 1941, in Butler, Missouri, on the family dairy farm. Jim moved westward with his family to the Parma, Idaho, area in 1945 and eventually, in 1950, to the Thompson farm near the Big Bend of the Snake River area not far from Adrian, Oregon. Growing up on the farm, Jim learned the value of hard work from his parents.
Ahead of Tuesdayâs regular meeting, the school board for Copperas Cove ISD met for its monthly workshop meeting to discuss the agenda.
The items for discussion included paying employees, both those that were able to work and those that could not during the recent winter weather.
The board will take action Tuesday on a proposal by the district to continue wage payments to all idled employees â contractual and noncontractual, salaried and non-salaried â during the districtâs emergency closure because of the weather.
Some essential employees, such as maintenance and custodial staff, were called into work during that week.
The district is also looking to compensate the essential employees for their time worked during the storm in the total amount of just over $30,000.
