As we pause this week to celebrate Thanksgiving, one of the many things we have to be thankful for is the sacrifice of the American Veteran. Please consider helping the Wood County Marine Corps League place a wreath at each veteran’s grave in Roselawn Cemetery this Christmas.

If you or a family you know is in need of a Thanksgiving meal, please help share this message.

The 88th Texas Legislative Session brought about one of the most significant property tax cuts in the history of our great state with over 18 billion dollars being used to compress school tax rates. The M&O Tax stands for Maintenance and Operation Tax. The vast majority of our school budget is funded through this revenue source. The I&S Tax stands for Interest and Sinking Tax Fund. The I&S Tax pays for the debt of the new school construction and renovations.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to give us a call at the Administration Office.
