Montgomery County Association of Administrators and Principals Welcomes Mr. James Allrich, President of MCAAP!

This week, AFSA celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of advocating for school leaders and strengthening public education.

Princess R. Moss of Virginia was elected president, Noel Candelaria of Texas was elected vice president, and Robert Varela Rodriguez of California was elected secretary-treasurer.
Emily Hunter, principal of Arlington Elementary School in Baltimore, says she was raised "all over the place."

MCAAP Board of Director's very own Mr. James Allrich is recently featured in an MCPS News article highlighting his already remarkable 25 year long carrer as an Educational leader and the paths taken to get him to where he is today. 

During the month of February, MCPS honors and recognizes Black History Month. For Allrich, this month is a time of reflection, not only on the past, but on the present.

Black History Month offers school leaders an opportunity to reflect on history while reinforcing the values that guide our schools today. For principals, assistant principals, directors of student activities and student services, transportation, food service, curriculum, and central office administrators, this month underscores the responsibility to lead school systems that honor contributions, strengthen opportunity, and serve every student with purpose.

Some 77% of workers aged 18–25 say they want to belong to a union. Yet only about 7% actually do.

That staggering gap is not a mystery of apathy, Ephrin Jenkins of Steelworkers Local 1014 told a packed seminar at the AFL-CIO’s Martin Luther King Jr. conference here. It is a failure of connection—between activism and involvement, between generations, and between unions and the very workers who want them.

AFSA legislative team worked tirelessly on Capitol Hill, advocating for school leaders, students, and fair funding for schools.
