• Notice: Beginning in August, the Glasscock County News will be published earlier in the month. The school board meeting will move from the third Monday to the second Monday of the month, the same day as the commissioners’ court, and we will publish the newsletter as soon as possible after those meetings. Unfortunately, our coverage of the underground water district, which meets on the third Tuesday, will usually be a month late. As always, the next month’s publication date will be printed at the very end of the newsletter. Please mark your calendars so that your information gets to us prior to deadline.
