Legal Question in Employment Law in New York
I am secretary to the principal in a . public school. There are extracurricular activities in the form of school trips that are on a voluntary basis to which a stipend is paid. One faculty member accepted the job and the stipend to run our school trip but insists that I do part of the work, of which I do not receive any stipend. The other two secretaries in our other two schools do not do any work related to their school trips, it is totally done by the faculty member who runs the trip and accepts the stipend. I refuse to do the work. How is it legal that someone accepts money to do a job and then passes off some of the work to another who does not get a stipend to do the job nor did that person volunteer for the job. please help

You work for the Principal, not any particular teacher. Take your concerns to your boss. In my experience, secretaries who did work in extracurricular activities received per-session pay. However, it is up to the Principal, unless your contract specifies otherwise.
