Question: Principal and his say...

How much say does the school principal have in PTO meetings? He comes in with copied outlines for everyone of what HE wants discussed and discusses it, HE sets the date and time of each meeting. Our other principal allowed us to make those decisions. Any suggestions?

Our principal is the 2nd Vice President--a steady board position held for whomever is the president. Each agenda has officer reports--the principal's report is part of that--he discusses what is happening on his end, things he might want us to look into sponsoring, etc. But, our position descriptions are in our bylaws. As far as the meeting dates & times, the board should set those at the end of one school year for the next one so that it can get put onto the appropriate calendars, etc.
