CEC ACTION ALERT: GIFTED ED FUNDING ON VERGE OF ELIMINATION

In the last two weeks, the House AND Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Education have voted to ELIMINATE funding for the Javits Gifted and Talented Education program, the only federal investment in gifted education. 
 
Tomorrow, Thursday (7/29), the full Senate Committee will determine whether to accept the Subcommittee's recommendation of elimination. 
 
Elimination of the Javits program will result in the loss of identifying best practices and closure of the National Research Center on Gifted Education.

 
All are strongly urged to call their Senators ASAP.  CEC’s Legislative Action Center provides all the info you need to make an informed and effective call: Senator’s phone numbers, talking points, and a feedback form. 

TAKE ACTION NOW!

Thank you for your quick action. Questions?  Please call Kim Hymes, CEC Director of Policy at 888-232-7733 ext. 441.
