NJAGC works with the New Jersey Department of Education and the United States Congress on behalf of gifted students everywhere!
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 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.
A big thanks to all of those who have testified for gifted education to the
NJ State State Board of Education!
