Why We Exist
Our organization was founded in the early 70's by a group of administrators who felt the need for a collective voice. They believed that there would be strength in numbers.

A vote of confidence from the membership established the organization as the exclusive bargaining agent for Baltimore City Public School System administrators. PSASA joined the national union briefly during their early years, and rejoined AFSA in the late 1990's to be part of a group of 20,000 school administrators across the country.
