REMINDER – Tonight Join PGTAG for an Important Conversation
Dear PGTAG Champions,
We are just weeks away from the end of the school year! Don’t forget to join us tonight at 7PM for our End of the Year Meeting with special guests Verjeana Jacobs, School Board Chairman and Kenmoor Middle School TAG Coordinator Kathleen Gregory.
With the General Assembly preparing to return to a special session to resolve the budget impasse, Prince George’s County stands to lose millions of dollars unless the governor and state legislators reach an agreement. How could these cuts impact PGCPS and TAG programs are important questions. How will the system’s new student based budgeting program impact the programs at your child’s school? With the new boundary lines for TAG programs what can you as a parent do to advocate for your child?
Join us tonight to ask these questions and others you may have with the people who have the answers.
330 Newkirk Avenue, Forestville, MD
May 8 @ 7PM

We need you to help make sure that the TAG program not only continues to be supported by PGCPS but grows in the future. If you want a say in future boundary lines, ensure we grow the number of teachers TAG trained, and support for TAG families then you have to step up today. This is your chance to make TAG great!
