It depends to a certain extent what the violation is. The first step is to point out the violation at a general meeting and to make a motion to end the violation immediately. When you do this, it will help to have a copy of the bylaws in hand so you can read the pertinent section.

I would like to add on another "just parent"-who did serve on the board for one year......who cannot seem to find information on where to go for assistance when a parent faculty group becomes entrenched and goes rogue.....completely ignoring bylaws and continuing to have "no members" in their corperation, only the 9 board members have full power. I have asked many people and investigated on the internet, but have not yet found response. I confronted the bylaws/ non-compliance issues while serving as an officer, and I was then asked to resign because bylaws would not be ammended under any circumstance. In the 5 years I have been a parent at this school, there have been no review audits of the "books" and our PFC takes in over 150,000.00 a year. Seems wierd to me. Good luck and please let me know if anyone has advice. A PFC should be for the school and as parents come and go the organization stays strong for the school it is serving. Thanks
