Supporting Gifted Education Legislation

February 19, 2022 9:30 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

The Illinois Association for Gifted Children (IAGC) is asking for witness slips in support for of a gifted education bill that was just filed. We encourage you to take a couple of minutes and sign a witness slip before Tuesday of next week, February 22nd.  Detailed instructions below or see here for more information from IAGC. Please forward this information to others who may be willing to sign this important piece of legislation for all our advanced learners.

Dear Gifted Education Supporter:

Our first step is that HB5277 must now pass the Illinois House Education Committee this Tuesday, February 22, before it can go to a House floor vote. Illinois has a simple way for you to publicly show your support for the legislation::
