[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCCPTA is the coalition of local school PTAs.  Those local school PTAs are formally part of the state PTA, which is formally part of the National PTA.

Local school PTAs often have difficulty recruiting enough volunteers (officers or otherwise) to maintain efforts for their individual schools and ensure continuity, much less maintaining awareness of county-wide issues.  MCCPTA, drawing from across the county, maintains enough participation to help locals with the basics that otherwise might fail due to that lack of continuity/knowledge transfer, keep awareness of many of the county-wide issues and, sometimes, organize broadly backed advocacy.

Like any organization, it can be co-opted, as the "extension of the teacher union" poster suggests, but that is not my observation, here, from several years of participation as a delegate (just a parent) from my local PTA.  I do suggest that folks not rely exclusively on MCCPTA -- though there is great information in many cases, there, individual advocacy, hopefully informed from multiple sources, is important.[/quote]

At policies of MCCPTA at the county level are driven by MCEA. The local school PTAs are a bit different, but those won't influence the BoE or county council.[/quote]
