In essence, a chair cannot ignore a non dilatory, properly made and seconded motion. There's a procedure that the good book ( Robert's Rules of Order) explains on pages 650-651 of the 11th edition.
If the chair ignores the motion after it is restated, the member may "standing in his place, put the ignored ( and seconded)motion to a vote without debate." If the chair fails to perform the duties of the chair, the assembly may vote to replace the chair temporarily. A PTA's bylaws have an article that deals with permanent removal that need to be followed if the assembly wants to permanently replace her. There are more hoops to jump thru. A PTO should have in place some remedy for removal from office too.
If your organization is having trouble, I suggest getting a copy of RROR so you can read up on how to handle things like this.
