PGTAG
Prince George's County Association for Talented and Gifted Education
Advocacy

There are three levels of advocacy in which you can participate:

Advocacy at your Child's School
Advocacy at Prince George's County
Advocacy at the State and Federal Level

You can also view the PGCPS TAG Procedures from 1977 which are still
in effect.  The CEO has directed that these procedures be updated.  This
process should begin in the fall of 2006 and the PGTAG president will be
representing PGTAG's interests during this activity.
