Hi there,
I can understand your frustration. I'd suggest having a sit down with her to come to an understanding with each other. It's a perfect time to do it as the new school year is starting. Rather than address any hurt feelings over that particular donation letter, focus on moving forward. Ask her how she wants to work with you, how she likes to be kept up to date and exchange information. Let her know how you want to do those same things and come to an agreement about how to keep in touch -- emails, weekly meetings, whatever is going work for you two. Make clear what thing you need to see, what things you need to sign off on. If we give her the benefit of the doubt, she may not know how to work best with you and once you two put it on the table and know where each stands, you can hopefully move forward. You don't have to be best friends. But you do need to come to an accommodation so you can work together.

I tried, it didn't go well. She tried to call a meeting and send unapproved forms home without telling me first. I'm at a loss, she doesn't understand that I have to approve these things first. She is so disruptive that two other board members are asking the principal how to get get to resign. This ahas gone downhill, and I dread working with her at this point. Am i responsible for telling her every decision I make? She seems to feel that if she's not personally involved in every minute decision it's an act of hostility.
