Testimony on TAG Bill - House Bill 2877

OATAG will testify before the state House & Senate Education Committees this month to support Bill 2877, which would provide state funding for TAG services. The group is looking for parents from around the state to share their stories about the need for state-funded gifted services. Here's a message from OATAG's Margaret DeLacy - 

"On Monday at 1:00 the House Education committee will be hearing a bill in Salem that would enhance services for gifted students throughout Oregon. I am very much hoping that there are a few parents out there who might be willing to tell legislators what you have told the School Board and administration here--that gifted students need services. You would be talking to a friendly group of legislators, who are interested in helping. If anyone is willing to do this, please give me a call at 503-774-7017 and leave a message."
 
Or consider sending an email. Even a brief, conversational message about your family's experience with TAG services and other issues can help shape the state's priorities at this critical time. Here's background on the bill.

Thanks!
