What is an Operations Funding Referendum?
The Operations Funding Referendum, also known as a Voter-Approval Tax Ratification Election (VATRE), is the way Texas Legislature to provide voters with the opportunity to fund their local school districts in a manner that meets the expectations of their community. State leaders made this voter-approval option available after their decision not to appropriately fund public education and previous funding cuts.
At least 600 school districts in Texas, including an overwhelming majority of districts in our region, have already passed a VATRE.
77% of Texas teachers seriously considered leaving the profession in 2022 due to high levels of stress, feeling undervalued, excessive workload, administrative burdens, and poor pay and benefits.
