Below you will find a list of the Senators on the Education Committee and their email. On Monday, Feb. 13th, this committee will meet to discuss Senate Bill #410.

This is the third attempt that this piece of legislation regarding dyslexia has tried to become law. The previous tow attempts we were only able to get a resolution.  We are hoping that if enough committee members hear from supporters of the bill, that this time they will support the bill.

We ask that you please take the opportunity to email these very important people and ask them to please vote yes on Senate Bill #410.

Thank you!
