Undisclosed Cost for New Vehicle Purchase
The board plans to approve buying four new vehicles without disclosing the cost, the funding source, or whether this purchase involves taking on new debt like a lease-purchase agreement. This lack of transparency prevents taxpayers from scrutinizing a potentially significant expenditure before the vote.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Scurry-Rosser ISD board before the meeting. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 8.C, what is the total cost for the four vehicles, what is the funding source, and is this a cash purchase or a lease-purchase agreement that creates new debt?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

Undisclosed Cost for Staff Laptops
The board is set to approve a bulk purchase of staff laptops with no public information on the cost or funding source. If this is paid for with one-time federal grant money, local taxpayers will be on the hook for the replacement cycle in a few years, creating a permanent new cost.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Scurry-Rosser ISD board. Ask: ‘Regarding Item 8.D, what is the total cost for the staff laptops and what is the funding source? If it is a federal grant, what is the district’s plan to fund the replacement of these devices when the grant money runs out?’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Future Obligation
