On January 24, NJAGC Members and Gifted Advocates Testify at the Statehouse in support of Bill A4710, Strenthening Gifted and Talented Education Act. The bill was unanimously approved by the Education Committee, and clarifies what is already in Administrative Code. It does not involve any additional cost. We returned to the Statehouse on March 4th to testify in front of the Senate Education Committee, and again our bill was unanimously approved by the committee. We are looking for more cosponsors to help this bill move through the Assembly and the Senate! Please click below to find out how you can help.
