Now that Hereford ISD’s VATRE (“Vader”) has passed, what happens next? In this episode, Kara Esquivel and Superintendent Dr. Ralph Carter walk through the next steps: staff surveys on how to use the new funds, possible approaches to compensation, the idea of a community oversight committee, and long-term facility planning, including the needs at Hereford High School and the impact of rising construction costs. They also revisit state funding “compression” and emphasize ongoing transparency and opportunities for community questions.
