Texas Schools Project Now Official State Education Research Center
The Texas Schools Project (TSP) at the University of Texas at Dallas is now officially designated as a State of Texas Education Research Center by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and the Texas Education Agency. An award of $650,000 to the Center will enable TSP and its collaborators from UT Austin and UT San Antonio to provide better access to public education data for approved researchers and organizations. The grant also will help the Center to develop a web site and other public outreach activities, to hold conferences of leading researchers, practitioners, and officials, and to move further as a premier organization that facilitates research on K-12 public education in Texas and the United States.
