NEXT STEPS: Local Legislators Hold Town Hall Meetings–Saturday, March 12th, 2011

admin

Washington State legislators from the 1st, 21st, and 32nd districts will be holding town hall meetings in their districts on Saturday, March 12th.  The Washington Coalition for Gifted Education’s lobbyist has strongly urged us to keep in close and continued contact with our representatives.  Please try to attend a meeting for your district.   If you attended Gifted Education Day in Olympia last month, this is a great opportunity to follow-up with your legislators. If you were not able to attend Gifted Education Day, please add your face and voice to the chorus to help our legislators understand the importance of continuing to fund gifted education programming in Washington, especially in this tough budget climate!  This could be a great chance to spend family time with other Challenge Program families and maybe stop off at the CPA Coffee Chat before or after and share your stories with others sharing your concerns.  Below are the meetings scheduled:
