Legislation
Working together to bring about change for all!
While it is natural to advocate for the immediate needs of our own child or student, it is more effective if we combine efforts to effect change for all students by enacting legislation.
MAGE is working on that front with educators, parents, administrators, counselors, and legislators throughout Massachusetts, but we cannot do it alone. legislators at the state and national level must hear from their constituents that gifted and talented learners are being overlooked to their detriment, and the detriment of all.
Follow these steps to make a difference:
-
1.1.Identify your legislators:
>Massachusetts State Legislature
>United States House of Representatives
-
1.2.Adopt a legislator - Please commit to contacting your legislators at the state and national level up to four times a year to inform them of important initiatives. For our records, please inform us of the legislator and district by sending an email to Diana Reeves at rdianam@aol.com.
-
2.3.Write your legislators to establish first contact.
-
3.4.Inform MAGE of your progress. Please update Diana Reeves every time you send or receive communication from a legislator at rdianam@aol.com
