Coppell ISD - you matter

During their monthly Board Meeting on Dec. 11, CISD Trustees approved the district’s fiscal year 2022-2023 Audit. Though CISD adopted last year’s 2022-2023 budget with a $9.7 million deficit, the audit showed that the district was able to make up this shortfall via several sources including interest earnings and savings on budgeted expenditures such as salaries and benefits and unspent campus department budgets.

• The Fall 2023 CISD Great Employees who Matter or GEMs and

• Mockingbird Elementary Fourth Grader Nirvana Joshi, winner of the CISD 2023 Holiday Card Contest.
