Events in Texas Education

Texas had many events in its development that helped shape education as we know it today. One of the most important to me would be the development of the Texas Constitution in 1845. This constitution gave the framework necessary to build an educational system. The establishment of free schools came out of the constitution would allowed for equality in education at the time. Another important event would be Texas giving one tenth of the state revenue to the educational system. This allowed for better resources and solidified the need for growth through education. The final event that I see as one of the most important when the state declared that it was mandatory for kids to go to school. Granted, the age requirements were 8-14, but it gave some validity to education and that it was going to stay around.
