[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The worst think about Westland is its current PTA president. She thinks  she runs the school but the principal is very happy to have somebody who screens every post for the list serve and communicates everything to the families. That way she does not have to address any controversial topics.

I would say the situation is horrible because of that. You have one parent who is a control freak and the school admin is taking advantage of it. [/quote]
I sincerely doubt you are at Westland.  The principal has not shied away from controversy, she has actively addressed many issues, including achievement gap and sexting.  
The current PTA president is certainly not perfect but is far from a "control freak" 
As a parent, I am happy that the posts are screened.  I don't need a bunch of emails about off-topic things.

:roll: Don't even know the Westland PTA president but I find it BEYOND laughable that anyone would even think a PTA president thinks they "run the school".  What big decisions does she control?  When the fall carnival is held?  Spirit wear designs?

I manage our elementary school listserve and the people who get upset (like you) are the ones who want to constantly send emails out about the non-existent wireless threat, gun-control petitions,  political viewpoint/statements, wacky nutritional/spiritual advice or just random complaints about school staff that they need to take up with the principal or staff.

We have 450 people on our listserve and most are work addresses, they have no desire to receive multiple emails not related to their children's education.
