When you're unhappy about something the PTO is doing, your best recourse is to muster up a number of unhappy members, go to the meeting as a group, and express your displeasure. If you have enough support, make a motion to stop or ban the practice in question. It's one thing for officers to ignore group policies or even bylaws. It's much more difficult to continue a practice in the face of widespread and openly expressed dissatisfaction. If you're still not happy, vote the officers out at election time.

I agree with Craig's response. Then, you should amend your bylaws to state that no parent shall benefit financially from the PTO. We just did this with our bylaws.
