AAGT ACTION ALERT!

APRIL 20TH LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT!

CONTACT THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE!

There is still a chance for the $500,000 in the 2018 budget, IF we can influence enough Legislators by reminding them of the immediate need for funding! Please continue your phone calls and emails to the House and Senate Appropriations Committee members!

Representative Carter and Senator Brophy-McGee are also working on negotiations for the 2019 budget. There is momentum right now and it is important to communicate with the Legislators on the Appropriations Committees and flood the Governor’s office with emails and phone calls
regarding the 2019 budget.

OUR TASK ASAP-
Email and call the House and Senate Appropriations Committee members and flood the Governor’s office with emails and phone calls. Also include tags in your social media posts!

The message is:  
Please recognize the need to respond to the unique learning differences of gifted students with identification, programs and services by beginning a path forward in 2019 for gifted funding.

Tell the Governor how much you appreciate his support! Dawn Wallace has been supportive of gifted education in our conversations with her.  Please thank Dawn as well!
