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]

MCCPTA resolutions always go out over our school's PTA listserv with a request for any feedback, and important ones (like the one regarding slowing down the regional program rollout and gathering feedback) get discussed during PTA meetings to inform the delegates' vote.

But even if not all delegates do that, the resolutions still get voted on by the delegates themselves-- literally hundreds of people debating and voting on every position MCCPTA takes.  That is a far cry from one or a few people taking a position and claiming they speak for a whole coalition (and implicitly a whole demographic group.)[/quote]

It’s rarely discussed at our meetings and any opinions that are different are dismissed.  They always vote in favor regardless of.[/quote]

Then that's something you should be bringing up at your board meetings. Your delegates are not doing their jobs. The delegates at our schools always discuss the resolutions at our local PTA meetings and send out the information with a request for feedback.[/quote]
