MCAAP Members arrived in style to our Annual Fall Membership Meeting, and left no Crumbs when it came to the Sneaker Showdown.  

Spetember 18, 2025, marked our offical Kick- Off Reception and commemorative celebration for MCAAP's newest chapter for MCPS Retired Administrators and Principals.

Amid the wave of ICE raids sweeping across California last week, fear and uncertainty have gripped many students, families and educators. In this moment of crisis, leadership matters more than ever.

That’s why our Local 150—Administrators Association Sweetwater Union in San Diego—received a powerful and compassionate message from Superintendent Moisés G. Aguirre, Ed.D.

In times like these, his words are not just reassurance—they are a call to uphold the dignity, safety and humanity of every member of our community.

Dear Sweetwater Community,

The countdown is on, for our SOLD OUT Summer Leadership Conference. 

That's right our Summer Leadership Conference has been sold out, Team MCAAP cannot wait to share our favorite event of the year with our valued members.
