Typically either the president or a majority vote of the board (or both) can call a special meeting. You need to give proper notice to members and, of course, you need a quorum to do business. The procedure should be spelled out in your bylaws. My understanding from parliamentary experts is that Robert's Rules doesn't have a provision for special meetings, so officially you can't call one unless the procedure is written into your bylaws. For most PTOs and PTAs, I don't think it's necessary to act with that degree of formality. If you need a meeting to get something important done, go ahead and call one.
