Protect Gifted and Talented Funding

Dear Louisiana state legislators,
Stop the proposed cuts to Louisiana's Gifted and Talented program via SCR 23. The proposed re-configuring of designated funding used for the Gifted and Talented programs would seriously affect the services gifted and talented students receive. Vote "No" on SCR 23!

Why is this important?

SCR 23, by Sen. Conrad Appel (R – Jefferson Parish) if adopted, will formally impose a funding cut in the Gifted and Talented program by reducing the funding allocated through the state's minimum foundation program or MFP. This proposed re-configuring of designated funding would seriously affect the services received by the students in the Gifted and Talented program.
