Question: Principal voting rights

We are starting a PTO group and I am a little troubled by giving teachers and principal voting rights. They are excited with the group and they will be a great addition to it, but do they NEED to have voting rights? I feel they should have veto rights, but not the power of voting against something we parents decide. What is the general rule on this?

It depends on how your bylaws were/are written. Also if you have a paid member organization, consider the leverage you have when defining the different levels of memberships - what they can or cannot do is determined by your governance or bylaws. If your group is 'staff heavy' boundaries should be set and the same goes for a 'parent heavy' board in the absence of a staff liaison.
