[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they ALLOWED to advocate to make changes to the neighborhood in which the MCPS school where they work is located, i.e. contact a County Representative or State Delegate or State Senator, MD DOT, MCDOT to bring a dangerous intersection that is used to cross by students of their school? Is the PTSA allowed to advocate? A very annoying PTSA President said they can not get involved in political "stuff." It is not political, it is a safety thing but that PTSA President thinks if involving county and state elected officials, it is political. Please provide any insights you may have.[/quote]

My kid's elementary principal advocated and testified about overcrowding and why a new school was needed to alleviate the problem. She was involuntarily transferred the next year.[/quote]

Not surprising that the school district took umbrage at your principal testifying. They have principal meetings at which they can speak with administrators.

I have seen principals come with parents to public meetings, such as the county council meetings, where his school's parents testified. I appreciated his supporting these parents, who were immigrant parents, in their advocacy. No one (that I know) has a problem with that.[/quote]
