Join Scouting Night
As the chartering organization of the Lakeside Cub Scouts (Pack 847), would like to encourage the families of Lakeside boys, who are not currently scouts, to attend the Join Scouting Night program on Tuesday, September 7th at 6:45pm in the Lakeside cafeteria. Cub scouts is a wonderful program that promotes fun, family activity, family values and it works to instill a sense of pride in the boys through accomplishment and goodwill. So bring your boys and the entire family out to Join Scouts Night and open your family up to a whole new world that is built on character development, good citizenship, and mental and physical fitness. They hope to see you there.

Tax Rate Election - 9/11/10
Tax rates are essential to maintaining the quality of education in Coppell. The Maintenance and Operations (M&O) tax rate provides salaries for educators as well as utilities, supplies, insurance, and equipment. Any changes in the M&O tax rate above $1.04 must be approved by citizens through an election. The only new revenue the school district receives is through growth in student enrollment or through tax rate increases. The School District will ask voters to approve a 13-cent M&O tax rate increase per $100 in property valuation to help alleviate its declining fund balance. Election day is officially September 11, 2010, but you can vote early here on Lakeside's campus on Wednesday, September 1 from 7am to 7pm. For more information on the election and voting sites, please click here.
