$1,000 Holiday Bonuses for All Staff
The board plans to approve a one-time ‘Holiday Incentive’ of $1,000 for every district employee. While a nice gesture, this is a significant expenditure of taxpayer money on non-instructional bonuses, and the total cost is not specified.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Dime Box ISD administration: ‘Regarding the $1,000 staff holiday incentive, what is the total cost to the taxpayer and from what part of the budget will these funds be drawn? Is this sustainable?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Total Cost

New Debt for Activity Bus Without Voter Approval
The board will vote on an ‘Activity Bus Loan Agreement’ with a private finance company. This is a form of debt taken on without voter approval, and the total cost, including interest, is not disclosed in the agenda.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Dime Box ISD administration before the meeting: ‘Regarding the Activity Bus Loan Agreement, what is the total principal, interest rate, and term of this loan? Taxpayers deserve to know the full cost of this debt before the board votes.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Debt
