The Texas Public School Finance Commission has been meeting in Austin to study school finance and draft a recommendation for the Texas Legislature’s consideration in the 2019 legislative session.
Once again, the subject of eliminating the G/T allotment has come up. We need your voice to tell the Commission how important the G/T allotment is for gifted education in Texas.
Please email the Texas Public School Finance Commission and tell them the importance of the G/T weight and allotment. Explain that it was created to support gifted students for a reason and voice your concerns about how detrimental it would be to eliminate the allotment.
You may use
this sample letter to send to the Commission.
If you know any of the members personally, please contact them soon.
