"Rose Herrera begins with her family's background and explains the progression of her involvement in her community from her participation in the Parent Teacher Association at her children's schools to her position as vice-president of the board of trustees for the Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD). She expresses her support for bilingual education, including FWISD's bilingual GED program, and stresses the need for the return of such organizations as Future Teachers of America to develop student interest in returning to serve their communities. She discusses FWISD's Success High School, her campaign finances and the redistricting of FWISD's district boundaries. She comments on the 'Robin Hood Plan' of school finance in Texas and mentions prominent Mexican American politicians Henry Cisneros, Fort Worth City Councilman Louis Zapata, Texas State Representative Robert Alianzo [sic, Alonzo], Texas State Senator Elisa [sic, Leticia] Van de Putte, fellow FWISD board member Jesse Martínez, and José Angel Gutiérrez."
