Your board cannot force you to continue by not accepting your resignation. If your board still wants you to continue, maybe you should rethink submitting your resignation. A "Come to Jesus" meeting with the principal, you, a strong member of your board, and the offending teacher is in order. Instead of "sucking it up", I suggest "spitting it out" and laying it on the table with this teacher and the principal.
I have read all of the comments that are posted and still have a question? I am or was the President of our school's PTO and after a very ugly confrontation from one of our teachers, I have decided to resign. My Vice President does not want to take on this responsibility. What do I do? I don't want to just leave everything hanging for the rest of the year, as I do care about the kids and the school. Also, I wasn't aware that my resignation had to be approved and accepted by the board. They don't want me to resign, what happens if they don't accept and approve my resignation? Should a PTO President have to take that type of disrespect from a teacher? Should I just suck-it-up and continue out this school year? Please advise, as I am very sad and frustrated. Thanks
A resignation of any board member is not accepted until a quorum of the board makes a motion to approve the resignation with a majority vote. So, yes, it would need to be handled at the next scheduled board meeting.
When a PTO President resigns do they need to have a meeting with all oficiers and the school principal? Ours is resigning and we didn't know how to do that.

Ours too. But ours state exactly which VP takes the roll as president.
I don't have much sympathy for the VP ... maybe you could talk with the VP and see if there are specific parts of the job he/she doesn't want to do, and the other officers could pick up to spread the burden. Not likely that a completely new president is going to be able to step right in.
