I think you should talk to your school principal, if you haven't already. If that doesn't bring you satisfaction, then head up the ladder, assistant superintendant, superintendant. I would also speak to your district solicitor. He or she will be able to advise you as far as what legal recourse you have.

The school and our PTO are just 2 years old and boy are we having problems. Last year's president stepped down when she became an employee of the school and the vice-president took over. When this year started there was no election for president.

So far this year we have only been able to view the by-laws (not have a copy); no one has seen the financials; there are rumors that the president has taken money out for personal expenses; and some things that we vote on in the meetings are being overruled later.

The vice-president this year has let it be known that even she has not seen the bank statements and can not find out where the money is going. Fundraisers are un-organized and the president (we have no treasurer) never seems to know how much money we have raised.

Several parents are frustrated beyond belief! Does anyone have any suggestions for a beginner in the PTO game?
