Teachers & Parents of Gifted Children
Many of you asked to be informed of news concerning the future of gifted programming for your children so that you would have the opportunity to contact lawmakers. Click here for the recent news article sharing Governor Barbour’s recommendation of a 68% cut to gifted, special and vo-tech education programs. Please review the news article and consider contacting the lawmakers who represent your area to voice your concern. Thank them for their past support of gifted education and ask them to please continue their support for our children. Please see the contact information for Mississippi Senators and Representatives at the link below. If you wish, take a few minutes to immediately call and/or email as many as you are able.
