HI Madhacker,
Generally speaking, a board of education should not be allowed to do this, but it depends on how this particular board has been set up. Its authority and decision-making powers may encompass the formation of these groups. You can request information from the board to get this answer.
Thanks, and good luck. -Liz from PTO Today
Can the Board of Education bar the Principal and teachers from working with an independent PTSO's 501(c)3 Board/nonprofit on grant and funding requests?
