This particular post is almost 6 months old. School is almost out. I would imagine the issue is long since resolved. I'm not sure there's any point in us re-activating the issue and weighing in at this late date.
I agree with the majority that say leave it alone. Just out of curiosity, though, what is your role in this- and why did a teacher ask you? Are you a school employee? PTO Board Member?
I am going the other way on this one, well first I dont see it as a pto issue and second Maybe she is just trying to help him out, maybe he doesn't even ask. There have been times that I was in my principals office finishing up something we had discussed, he had been called away, it could be something that he had asked my opinion on. I dont see it as a big issue, I really don't and think the teacher should address your principal if they are concerned. But like I said if you think about it there are probably alot of times that a pto president is in a office doing stuff...
President jim we posted at the same time, I dont think that you without knowing what she is writing she can be accused if being is secretary...if I had a dollar for everytime we talked about something and he asked me to jot it down, or he isn't around and so I leave a note...the cleaning part hey maybe the budget doesnt allow it?? or she is just being nice.

Daddio, I can see your point, but at the same time it is affecting the PTO group, kind of.
The fact that the new teacher asked a PTO member if it is ok for the PTO member to be the Principal's "secretary/maid" is causing a perception that can affect the group.
At the same time it is tough as you don't want to make this issue worse. The year is almost up, so I would let it go for now.
I would agree, and its really none of that teachers business, either, unless it impacts their work. In which case, the person to address would be the principal's boss or superindentent and not a parent.
