More money approved for Coupland campus

COUPLAND — Trustees approved additional funding for construction costs at the new Coupland Junior High and High School, but not without questions.

The extra money, which comes from bond interest, will go towards the school’s multipurpose building at CR 460. The amount rose from almost $350,000 to slightly more than $500,000.

“Why is this so much more than we thought?” said trustee Tessa Strider during a meeting Thursday of the Coupland Independent School District.
