You mean Byron Jones wrote a letter supporting it.[/quote]

That’s no different that MCCPTA.  How many PTA members sign onto their letters? I’ve been a member in four different school PTA and the level of engagement from the delegate in conveying information between the county level and school has been minimal to nonexistent.[/quote]

No, MCCPTA has two delegates from each school in the county eligible to vote on key matters, such as the regional programs. That's real representation. MCCPTA sent out a draft resolution on slowing the implementation of regional programs to help ensure quality, and all schools had the ability to discuss the issues. Delegates voted on this. If your delegates didn't present the issue, then I would suggest that you volunteer to do the hard work of community organizing, instead of mouthing off on an anonymous website. [/quote]

And, in addition to the 2 delegates/school, every PTA President can vote. So that is three votes per school and a genuine process for debating and making decisions on whether to take action. [/quote]

A few votes is not representative of the school population.  [/quote]

As I wrote earlier, DP, get to work and organize your school's community to help ensure that people are well-informed. Don't just sit around and complain. [/quote]

I do my share as do many others.  [/quote]
