History

Historically, the Maryland PTA played a significant role in providing educational, mental health, physical fitness, and social support across 24 counties in Maryland. However, the organization faced significant challenges in recent years.

Financial and Governance Issues

In 2020, the organization reported revenue of $35.1 thousand and expenses of $16.6 thousand. It had total assets of $51.1 thousand with no liabilities[2]. Despite its financial operations, the organization was disaffiliated from the National PTA in March 2021 due to significant issues with board leadership, including financial mismanagement[1].

Disaffiliation and Legal Action

The disaffiliation was followed by a court case in which the court appointed a receiver to manage the organization's assets and prevent further financial malfeasance. The court found evidence that the president, LaTonya Carrera, had treated the organization's funds as personal property, leading to the appointment of a receiver to safeguard these assets[1].

Current Status

As of the most recent updates, the organization is no longer affiliated with the National PTA, and its activities are under the supervision of a court-appointed receiver. The National PTA has established the Free State PTA as an alternative state chapter to continue supporting local PTAs in Maryland[1].
