These all sound good....just ride it out....however, our school is new, this is our first year and our board members all signed on for 2 years. This person doesn't pull weight, never shows for any event to help out (even though everyone is happy about that anyway!), if asked to do anything gets totally stressed, and on the rare occassion does do anything loves to take all credit. I think this person just feels important saying I'm on the board! like a status thiing. Don't want to make waves so we just tolerate.
I have to agree with another poster here ... no need for a co-president when the typical p,vp,s,t structure is used properly. The profit sectors have learned early on co-presidents do not work and can even have disasterous effects. You can have multiple vp's and things will go okay becasue there is ultimately one person to make the final decision (P) but once to expect more than one president (so-presidents) to agree on something you will be stuck in a sea of 'personalization' that never seemed to exist before on any given matter. My suggestion would be to ride what you can out until elections but work on having the structure changed back to the traditional and add extra presidents if you feel the need for extra officers. Perhaps each vp can handle one aspect of the organization (vp fundraising, vp communications, vp activities etc.) but each still needs to get final approval from the president.
sounds like not worth the trouble since no bylaws in place to oust.
schoolyr is almostover,why not just wait til next yr andbe sure not to relect this person. amazing that sucha difficult personality was voted in, in the first place. but these things do happen.
if someone wont even listen to reason or the prinicpal, it wont do much good trying to vote in a new rule just to oust her now. the fix will be worse than the disease. people like that just love attention, and she will bask in all of it. better just go about your business and do the best you can, its for the kids after all, keep the focus there and off this person.
If there isn't anything in your bylaws about removing an officer (usually for something generic like "failure to perform duties" and by majority vote of the executive board), then draft that amendment right now. It might be too late to apply the bylaws to this situation, but you'll have some teeth in the future.
At the same time we are only 4 months away from elections.
The best course of action may be to just work it out with the other Co-President to keep her out of leadership roles as much as possible for the remainder of the year. Have someone else ready to run for that position and ensure that this person has the support of the masses.
