Coupland ISD proposes new tax

COUPLAND – Patrons of the Coupland Independent School District will see a voter-approved tax rate election this fall to close a funding gap resulting from the opening of a new campus.

Authorized by trustees during a June 25 session, the measure goes before the electorate Nov. 3 during the general election.

The decision was prompted by Superintendent Earl Parcell’s presentation Thursday of the district’s 2026-27 budget, which trustees also adopted.
