A number of new legislative mandates placed on Texas public schools has had the effect of requiring extensive school facility construction and alterations. The Interim Committee, established by the Texas Senate, enlisted the services of the Center for Policy Studies and Research in Elementary and Secondary Education at East Texas State University to conduct a statewide school facilities study. Two instruments, the Central Office Questionnaire (COQ) and the School Campus Inventory (SCI), were developed to measure the quality and educational effectiveness of school facilities in the state. Data were collected from 574 (54 percent) of the independent school districts and 1,438 (25 percent) of the school campuses, as well as 112 site surveys, and 270 Southern Association of Schools and Colleges Self Surveys. The school districts are divided into seven major categories by size and six geographic regions. The body of the report describes: (1) the method used to determine construction cost for the state; (2) enrollment projections; (3) H.B. 246 and H.B. 72 needs; (4) physical condition of present buildings; and (5) educational adequacy of present buildings. All of these need categories are projected for 1996, the cost for each need is projected, and this cost is discussed in "ability to pay" terms. The concluding section covers the design and method of study, including the instrumentation, data collection, and analysis procedures. The data, analysis, and implications of the study are presented in text with 7 figures and 25 tables. Appended are 14 references. (MLF)
