[quote=Anonymous]Of course it's the Principal! The big difference is that this is the Principal's career. Major decisions are on him. 
The PTA President is a volunteer parent who half the time doesn't want the role but was sort of forced into it. The PTA Pres does the events and runs fundraisers. It's a very time consuming role, but it's a volunteer position and major decisions about the school are not on this person to make. I'm the PTA President of a focus school and someone earlier said that PTA Presidents are for stay at home helicopter moms who like to boss other women around. Ha! Believe me, I am not any of those things. I barely spend time with my own kids these days because of the damn PTA. I can't wait for my 2 year obligation to be over and I have a feeling that many in the same predicament as me are feeling the same thing. That said, you do NOT want the PTA President's role to have more weight than the Principal's role given the fact that it's basically a thankless position and PTA Presidents, all know that.[/quote]
