Just a reminder for those parents that need to complete their student's consent for health-related services.
The 89th Texas Legislature recently passed Senate Bill 12 which requires school districts to obtain written permission from a parent/guardian before providing health-related services to that individual's child. Examples of this include: checking for fever, evaluating stomach pain, cleaning/bandaging an abrasion or determining if a student is well enough to remain in school. In such cases, you will be contacted and may be required to pick your child up from school to assess and manage their condition at home. Please be aware that if you decline consent or fail to return this form, Scurry-Rosser ISD Health Services staff cannot assess or provide care for non-emergency illness or injury.

Today, Celebrate Freedom Week coincides with Constitution Week as a time for schools across Texas to honor the values and ideals on which the United States was founded.
Here in Scurry-Rosser ISD, students are engaging in lessons and activities to learn about the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. They are also examining how these timeless principles have shaped our country’s history and the freedoms we enjoy today.
Let’s join together in honoring this important week by remembering the sacrifices made for liberty and celebrating the ideals of freedom that continue to inspire generations. #WildcatPride
This national observance began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan into the 30-day celebration we enjoy today.
Here in Texas, Hispanic heritage is inseparable from our story. The influence and legacy of Hispanic Texans span centuries, shaping communities, traditions, and education across our state—including right here in Scurry-Rosser ISD.
We are proud to celebrate and recognize the many ways Hispanic culture enriches our schools and inspires our students each and every day.

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 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.
To be eligible for free or reduced-price meals, families must re-submit a Free & Reduced Meals Application for the new school year. Apply early to ensure your student is prepared for the first day of school.
