Your group has to decide how to spend your own money, just as you have to decide which fundraiser to run. Of course, the principal's input should carry significant weight, but you should make the final decision. By the way, it's good that your principal thinks the board should have final say on what fundraiser to run. A fundraiser requires broad support from a lot of people to be successful. We've heard of principals signing up with fundraising companies and committing their schools to run a fundraiser that the PTO didn't really want to do. It rarely works out well.
