Voters in rural, northern Dickens County once again turned down propositions for some $9 million in school district improvements on Nov. 7, defeating bond issues in even larger numbers than the turnout for the May 6, 2023, election on similar measures.
On Proposition A, which would have funded construction of security improvements, learning spaces, and a community storm shelter, 72 voted For (39.8%) and 109 Against (60.2%), for a total of 181 votes cast. (In May, a comparable though not exactly identical proposition failed by a six-vote margin, with 152 votes cast.) Proposition B, which would have acquired property for teacher housing, failed by a smaller margin, with 76 For (42.2%) and 104 Against (57.8%), with a total 180 votes cast. (In May, a comparable proposition failed with an even tie at 76, lacking a one-vote majority to win.)
The most recent records available to The Texas Spur showed a total of 242 registered voters eligible to vote in the ISD election.
