What is it?

Coppell ISD is dedicated to providing a quality education for every student in our district. In support of the district mission to enable today’s students to thrive and compete in the “twenty-first century workplace,” Coppell ISD will develop and nurture partnerships with parents/caregivers, students, and community stakeholders. We strive to provide high-quality education individualized for each student by developing and maintaining relationships with families and the community. One way we continue to do this is by participating in the Title I, Part A State Program. This program provides funding for economically disadvantaged students within schools. In return, school districts promise to meet the expectations laid out by the Texas Education Agency and the United States Department of Education.

Expectations & Objectives

Therefore, a mutually beneficial relationship between school and home is in the best interest of every child.
