It depends on your bylaws. They might state that membership is open to anyone with a child in the school. Or they might simply say that paying dues makes you a member. It's also possible that they list qualifications for becoming an officer (ie must have a child in the school), but that's less common. In general, I'm in favor of accepting help from anyone who is willing to give it. However, if there is a parent of a student willing to take on the role, I think it makes sense for the current president (or other officer) to step aside at the next election and let that parent take over.
