Some people are unconcerned regarding the elimination of the GT allotment in Texas, saying the funds are still there but rolled in to the general allotment. Don’t be deceived-districts will no longer be required to spend that money on GT. It is NOT still there. #gtchat @TXGifted

Ohio moved GT funds to general fund in 2009. It didn't work; Ohio re-instated the GT allotment last year! Let's learn from Ohio — and Do the Bright Thing for students w gifted learning difference AND/OR other learning challenges! Please fund GT allotment, too! #WhyGT @DanHuberty

Take away funding & these programs suffer, GT students suffer. Twitter:

RISD GT kids making a huge impact.

[Becky Campbell @5_Campbells]

Intermediate REACH at Bowie (grades 4-6) did independent study about NPOs and those kids collectively donated 1200+ service hours and $18,000+ to various NPOs!!! INCREDIBLE! I’m so inspired! @RISDGT @RGgifted

[Richardson Gifted @RGgifted]

@CBarnes_95 @TXGifted remember that GT students need funding to receive the services they NEED

@smswain @TXGifted Cutting GT funding will NOT provide an equitable education for GT students

@3jstone @kaceycrutch @RISDCouncilPTA @RepDennisBonnen @TXGifted Thankful that our superintendent @3jstone values and supports GT services in RISD. @RISDGT @RISDCCR

[Michelle Swain @smswain]

Part of the answer must be retaining the GT Allotment not repealing it in #HB3. Begging the #txleg to reconsider as this is the only special population being cut out of the funding picture - it will disproportionately hurt low income and minority students. #gtchat @txgifted
