Sorry - I'm secretary on the Board. She asked both spouses to step down due to possible conflicts of interest.

In our PTO married couples are welcome but if one is on the checkbook the other cannot be.

I would say most PTOs welcome involvement by both parents. Some groups do have a bylaw preventing couples from both holding an executive board position, but I'd say that's rare. I'm guessing your group's bylaws don't have that provision, either. I think that groups should welcome help from anyone willing to spend the time and effort. I certainly can't see a reason to prevent a teacher's wife from serving on the board simply because she's a teacher's wife. (Of course, there may be other issues involved.) And beyond not wanting a couple to hold two of four or five executive board positions, I can't think of a valid reason to prevent couples from both taking an active role.
