Where to Get Help
Help Is Only a Telephone Call or Email Away!
The MCCPTA Directory, aka Blue Book is a comprehensive list that includes the names and telephone numbers of the MCCPTA Board of Directors -- elected officers, cluster coordinators, area coordinators, and committee chairs. The Area and Cluster
coordinators are the liaison for local PTAs to MCCPTA and MCPS and are
available to help locals with problematic situations. Committee chairs are an
excellent source for planning programs. Any member of the MCCPTA Board of Directors can be contacted with questions and concerns relating to PTA or MCPS.
The MCCPTA and Maryland State PTA webpages have organizational information and links to other helpful resources for parents and PTA leaders.
Community Superintendents: MCPS has divided the county into "quad-cluster" groups with a community superintendent assigned as a supervisor to each quad cluster. The community superintendents report to the Chief School Performance Officer, Steve Bedford. School administrators are accountable to the community superintendents. When normal problem-solving channels at the local school level have been unsuccessful, parents may contact the community superintendent. The Community Superintendents may be reached through the Office of School Performance, 301-315-7366.
