In an era where competition can sometimes overshadow character, Homero reminded us all that athletics are about more than medals and times. His actions highlight the deeper purpose of sport: resilience, respect, and community.

The Board of Trustees has called for a Refunding Bond Election. Financial/Municipal Advisor explains what that means in this brief video. Click here to watch the video.
The 2025-2026 Student Handbook and Student Code of Conduct were approved Monday night at the August 18, 2025, Board Meeting. Both handbooks are available online at https://www.scurry-rosser.com/page/parents-students. Parents may also request a printed copy from the office at their student's campus.
The Scurry-Rosser ISD Board of Trustees to Call a Refunding Bond Election:
At its Regular Board Meeting on Monday, August 18, 2025, the Scurry-Rosser ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to call a refunding bond election to be held on November 4, 2025. Voters will have the option of voting for or against a single refunding bond proposition in the amount of $3,850,000. The refunding bonds would be issued to refinance bonds that are currently paid out of the District’s maintenance and operations budget. The maintenance and operations budget funds day-to-day items like teacher and staff salaries, utilities, and similar items. Approval of the refunding bond would change the payment source of the debt to the District’s debt service tax, which would create space in the District’s maintenance and operations budget for teacher salaries and other day-to-day expenses.
The Board has determined that it is necessary and appropriate to call and conduct an election to obtain voter authorization of the issuance of these bonds. More information will be shared with the community in the upcoming weeks.
