On May 13th Margaret Spellings brought a message to our club about the "Texas 2036" project named after the bicentennial of Texas independence. The initiative brings together well-known Texas leaders in politics and business to examine the status of various critical matrixes of life in Texas and where appropriate to suggest means for improvement over the next 16 years in anticipation of celebrating the first 200 years.

One of the most important issues relates to public education. Ms. Spellings is a natural to head the project, especially as it pertains to education since she served as Secretary of Education during the presidency of George W.Bush. Not only is there accountability for student performance in core curriculum subjects but also there is the question of affordability.
While this is a key issue for review "Texas 2036" will look into the current state of many policies- both private and public- which directly or indirectly affect the quality of life for Texans and where improvements are called for, to suggest strategies to pursue to produce changes.
