Advocacy
Your Voice Matters. Public education faces new and complex challenges. Stay involved and informed. GACIS relies on your experience, expertise, and input to develop the yearly GACIS Legislative Priorities. After approval by the Board of Directors, the legislative priorities are posted on the website and sent to each GACIS District Director to be distributed for members to use as "talking points" with their local representatives and senators.
GACIS works with GAEL, the seven other GAEL affiliates, and other key educational groups to monitor, provide information, and report on education and related legislation to keep you informed. GACIS's advocacy gives you a presence at the table when education policy, as well as, legislation is being considered. Every effort is made to keep members apprised of current issues. Members are strongly encouraged to get to know and communicate with their lawmakers and educational leaders at the state and federal levels.
