Education in the state of Texas has long been an important matter of public and
legislative concern, if not the most pertinent responsibility of those that meet
in our capitol. Many questions surround the topic and although some have been
temporarily answered, there are still many reasons that our education system
does not work to the full extent necessary for our state. A more permanent
change in our education system is needed to provide education equally, and
fairly, to all students in this state, and avoid excessive taxes, and penalizing
schools in wealthy areas. ... Through the years there has been a
plethora of legislation regarding elementary, intermediate, high school, and
higher education within the state. More relevant to citizens of Texas right now,
however are the current issues demanding the attention of those at the capitol
in Austin, and their plans to confront and conquer these problems. This paper
will be a deeper look into the current legislation regarding education in this
state and what our congressmen are doing to assist the processes as well as my
opinions on the actions being taken to make Texas an equal opportunity educator,
and provide this education from a financial source that would benefit everyone
in the state.
Recently it has come to the forefront of Texas politics that the standing Texas
financial plan for public schools was not made with the educational goals of our
state in mind and therefore has not allowed for proper funding to accomplish
these goals. ... Governor Rick Perry is
expected to use his legislative, gubernatorial power to call a special session
of the legislature to address the education issues. ... us)
In the meantime, however, the public education problems are being attended to by
a joint committee (a blend of legislators from the House and the Senate), who
themselves are assisted by a team of researchers and experts in the education
system to attempt to make this process more efficient and effective.
