EMPLOYMENT ADVOCACY

There are times in each school-based administrator's career when being on the "firing line" takes on a significant meaning. During times of increased stress and political pressures, members have a place to turn for peer counseling and even legal counsel.

BPAA advocates for the fair and equitable treatment of its members and has been instrumental in helping to avoid problematic employment situations.
