Legislative Alert - April 2018
Gifted Education in Texas needs your voice!
The Texas Commission on Public School Finance has been meeting in Austin to study school finance and draft a recommendation for the Texas Legislature's consideration in the 2019 legislative session.
Once again, the subject of eliminating the G/T allotment has come up. We need your voice to tell the Commission how important the G/T allotment is for gifted education in Texas.
Please email the Texas Commission on Public School Finance and tell them the importance of the G/T weight and allotment. Explain that it was created to support gifted students for a reason and voice your concerns about how detrimental it would be to eliminate the allotment.
You may use this sample letter to send to the Commission.
