PTA is strictly nonpartisan. We advocate for policies and issues affecting children, never endorsing political candidates or parties.
PTA membership directs our leadership to take action and advocate directly on behalf of student health, safety, and learning needs.
Members vote to establish official position statements on local and state policy issues affecting Harford County Public Schools.
HCCPTA Advocacy Framework: How We Take Action
Before HCCPTA takes an official public position on a community issue, our board and membership follow a structured three-step evaluation process:
- Fits National & Free State PTA missions
- Directly impacts children & youth
- Clear, actionable desired outcome
- Gather diverse community perspectives
- Analyze multi-source objective data
- Engage parents & school stakeholders
- Craft clear advocacy statements
- Engage elected officials & HCPS leaders
- Mobilize local PTA unit delegates
