Built in 1965, the Miss Jewell wing at Fairview/Jewell Elementary has not been remodeled or updated since the building was constructed.
The proposed work includes new classroom doors, updated life-skills classrooms, restrooms, flooring and updates to bring the campus into ADA compliance. The walkway between the Fairview and Miss Jewell wings would be enclosed to ensure student safety and limit exposure to inclement weather conditions when walking across campus.

The average age of the district’s campuses is more than 51 years old. Copperas Cove ISD maintains 20 facilities spanning nearly 2 million square feet, every school day.
As facilities age, they have increased mechanical, electrical and plumbing issues. These systems often have obsolete parts, require more frequent repairs and cost more to maintain, requiring a greater investment in maintenance and operational costs. More than 95% of the dollar value of the 2024 bond proposal is dedicated to addressing aging facilities and infrastructure.

Did you know public schools in Texas operate on two separate budgets?
1) Maintenance & Operations (M&O), used for daily operations such as utilities and teacher salaries
2) Interest & Sinking (I&S), which pays for capital debt, new construction, and renovations
In order to fund the I&S budget, schools rely on the support of local tax payers to finance the design, construction, expansion and renovation of facilities.
